[PATCH 2/4] KVM: VMX/pmu: Save host debugctlmsr just before vm entry

[Xiong Zhang <xiong.y.zhang@intel.com>]

Perf defines four types of perf event: per cpu pinned event, per process
pinned event, per cpu event, per process event, their prioirity are from
high to low. vLBR event is per process pinned event. So durng vm exit
handler, if vLBR event preempts perf low priority LBR event, perf will
disable LBR and let guest control LBR, or if vLBR event is preempted by
perf high priority LBR event, perf will enable LBR. In a word LBR status
may be changed during vm exit handler.

MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR[0] controls LBR enabling, kvm saves its value into
vmx->host_debugctlmsr in vcpu_load(), and kvm restores its value from
vmx->host_debugctlmsr after vm exit immediately. Since
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR[0] could be changed during vm exit handler, the
saved value vmx->host_debugctlmsr could be wrong. So this commit saves
MSR_IA32_DEBUGCTLMSR into vmx->host_debugctlmsr just before vm entry to
reflect the real hardware value.
