Before this change, kvm not allowed userspace to change the pmcr_n, but
allowed to change the lower ARMV8_PMU_PMCR_MASK bits. With this change,
we now allow to change the pmcr_n, we should not block the change to
ARMV8_PMU_PMCR_MASK after vm start to run, but how about we just block
the change to ARMV8_PMU_PMCR_N after vm start to run?
