[PATCH v4 09/12] KVM: x86/pmu: Forget PERFCTR_CORE if the min num of counters isn't met

From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

KVM should sanity check the number of counters enumerated by perf and
explicitly drop PERFCTR_CORE support if the min isn't met. E.g. if KVM
needs 6 counters and perf says there are 4, then something is wrong and
enumerating 6 to the guest is only going to cause more issues.

Opportunistically, the existing kvm_cpu_cap_check_and_set() makes it
easier to simplify the host check before setting the PERFCTR_CORE flag.
