[PATCH v4 10/14] KVM: arm64: PMU: Allow userspace to limit PMCR_EL0.N for the guest

KVM does not yet support userspace modifying PMCR_EL0.N (With
the previous patch, KVM ignores what is written by upserspace).
Add support userspace limiting PMCR_EL0.N.

Disallow userspace to set PMCR_EL0.N to a value that is greater
than the host value (KVM_SET_ONE_REG will fail), as KVM doesn't
support more event counters than the host HW implements.
Although this is an ABI change, this change only affects
userspace setting PMCR_EL0.N to a larger value than the host.
As accesses to unadvertised event counters indices is CONSTRAINED
UNPREDICTABLE behavior, and PMCR_EL0.N was reset to the host value
on every vCPU reset before this series, I can't think of any
use case where a user space would do that.

Also, ignore writes to read-only bits that are cleared on vCPU reset,
and RES{0,1} bits (including writable bits that KVM doesn't support
yet), as those bits shouldn't be modified (at least with
the current KVM).
