Subject: [RFC PATCH 11/41] KVM: x86/pmu: Introduce enable_passthrough_pmu module parameter and propage to KVM instance

Introduce enable_passthrough_pmu as a RO KVM kernel module parameter. This
variable is true only when the following conditions satisfies:
 - set to true when module loaded.
 - enable_pmu is true.
 - is running on Intel CPU.
 - supports PerfMon v4.
 - host PMU supports passthrough mode.

The value is always read-only because passthrough PMU currently does not
support features like LBR and PEBS, while emualted PMU does. This will end
up with two different values for kvm_cap.supported_perf_cap, which is
initialized at module load time. Maintaining two different perf
capabilities will add complexity. Further, there is not enough motivation
to support running two types of PMU implementations at the same time,
although it is possible/feasible in reality.

Finally, always propagate enable_passthrough_pmu and perf_capabilities into
kvm->arch for each KVM instance.
