KVM: VMX: Adjust number of LBR records for PERF_CAPABILITIES at refresh



Now that the PMU is refreshed when MSR_IA32_PERF_CAPABILITIES is written
by host userspace, zero out the number of LBR records for a vCPU during
PMU refresh if PMU_CAP_LBR_FMT is not set in PERF_CAPABILITIES instead of
handling the check at run-time.

guest_cpuid_has() is expensive due to the linear search of guest CPUID
entries, intel_pmu_lbr_is_enabled() is checked on every VM-Enter, _and_
simply enumerating the same "Model" as the host causes KVM to set the
number of LBR records to a non-zero value.
