arm64: KVM: pmu: Reset PMSELR_EL0.SEL to a sane value before entering the guest
The ARMv8 architecture allows the cycle counter to be configured by setting PMSELR_EL0.SEL==0x1f and then accessing PMXEVTYPER_EL0, hence accessing PMCCFILTR_EL0. But it disallows the use of PMSELR_EL0.SEL==0x1f to access the cycle counter itself through PMXEVCNTR_EL0. Linux itself doesn't violate this rule, but we may end up with PMSELR_EL0.SEL being set to 0x1f when we enter a guest. If that guest accesses PMXEVCNTR_EL0, the access may UNDEF at EL1, despite the guest not having done anything wrong. In order to avoid this unfortunate course of events (haha!), let's sanitize PMSELR_EL0 on guest entry. This ensures that the guest won't explode unexpectedly.
