[PATCH 1/7] KVM: arm64: PMU: Have reset_pmu_reg() to clear a register

On vCPU reset, PMCNTEN{SET,CLR}_EL1 and PMOVS{SET,CLR}_EL1 for
a vCPU are reset by reset_pmu_reg(). This function clears RAZ bits
of those registers corresponding to unimplemented event counters
on the vCPU, and sets bits corresponding to implemented event counters
to a predefined pseudo UNKNOWN value (some bits are set to 1).

The function identifies (un)implemented event counters on the
vCPU based on the PMCR_EL1.N value on the host. Using the host
value for this would be problematic when KVM supports letting
userspace set PMCR_EL1.N to a value different from the host value
(some of the RAZ bits of those registers could end up being set to 1).

Fix reset_pmu_reg() to clear the registers so that it can ensure
that all the RAZ bits are cleared even when the PMCR_EL1.N value
for the vCPU is different from the host value.
