KVM: x86/pmu: Process only enabled PMCs when emulating events in software
Mask off disabled counters based on PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL *before* iterating over PMCs to emulate (branch) instruction required events in software. In the common case where the guest isn't utilizing the PMU, pre-checking for enabled counters turns a relatively expensive search into a few AND uops and a Jcc. Sadly, PMUs without PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL, e.g. most existing AMD CPUs, are out of luck as there is no way to check that a PMC isn't being used without checking the PMC's event selector.
