When userspace initializes a vCPU with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 but sets
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer to NI (0) or IMP_DEF (0xf, which is sanitized to
NI), resetting the vCPU invokes reset_pmevtyper() and calls
kvm_pmu_evtyper_mask(). Because __kvm_pmu_event_mask() does not handle
ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_PMUVer_NI, it triggers a WARN_ONCE("Unknown PMU version
0").
Explicitly handle ID_AA64DFR0_EL1_PMUVer_NI in __kvm_pmu_event_mask() by
returning an event mask of 0, and drop the redundant kvm_vcpu_has_pmu()
check in reset_pmevtyper().

pmu_visibility() currently checks kvm_vcpu_has_pmu(), which only tests
whether the vCPU was initialized with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3. If userspace
initializes a vCPU with KVM_ARM_VCPU_PMU_V3 and subsequently hides
FEAT_PMUv3 via ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer, KVM continues to expose the PMU
system registers instead of emulating guest accesses as UNDEF.
Check ID_AA64DFR0_EL1.PMUVer directly via kvm_has_feat() in
pmu_visibility() so that PMU system registers are marked REG_HIDDEN
whenever FEAT_PMUv3 is not advertised in the ID registers.
