[PATCH 06/15] KVM: x86: Register perf callbacks only when actively handling interrupt

Register KVM's perf callback only when handling an interrupt that may be
a PMI (sadly this includes IRQs), and unregister the callback immediately
after handling the interrupt (or closing the window).  Registering the
callback on a per-CPU basis (with preemption disabled!), fixes a mostly
theoretical bug where perf could dereference a NULL pointer due to KVM
unloading and unregistering the callbacks in between perf queries of the
callback functions.  The precise registration will also allow for future
cleanups and optimizations, e.g. the existence of the callbacks can serve
as the "in guest" check.
