When the PMU is disabled, don't bother sharing the PMU MSRs with
userspace through KVM_GET_MSR_INDEX_LIST. Instead, filter them out
so userspace doesn't have to keep track of them.

Note that 'enable_pmu' is read-only, so userspace has no control over
whether the PMU MSRs are included in the list or not.

I prefer use a helper to wrap the hunk of PMU msr checks and move the helper to

the "default" branch of switch, it makes the code looks nicer:

default:

if(!enable_pmu && !kvm_pmu_valid_msrlist(msr))
