[PATCH v6 02/10] KVM: x86/pmu: Return #GP if user sets the GLOBAL_STATUS reserved bits

[Like Xu <like.xu.linux@gmail.com>]

From: Like Xu <likexu@tencent.com>

Return #GP if KVM user space attempts to set a reserved bit for guest.
If the user space sets reserved bits when restoring the MSR_CORE_
PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS register, these bits will be accidentally returned
when the guest runs a read access to this register, and cannot be cleared
up inside the guest, which makes the guest's PMI handler very confused.

Note, reusing global_ovf_ctrl_mask as global_status_mask will be broken
if KVM supports higher versions of Intel arch pmu.
