[PATCH v5 15/44] KVM: SVM: Check pmu->version, not enable_pmu, when getting PMC MSRs

Gate access to PMC MSRs based on pmu->version, not on kvm->arch.enable_pmu,
to more accurately reflect KVM's behavior. This is a glorified nop, as
pmu->version and pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters can only be non-zero if
amd_pmu_refresh() is reached, kvm_pmu_refresh() invokes amd_pmu_refresh()
if and only if kvm->arch.enable_pmu is true, and amd_pmu_refresh() forces
pmu->version to be 1 or 2.
I.e. the following holds true:
!pmu->nr_arch_gp_counters || kvm->arch.enable_pmu == (pmu->version > 0)
and so the only way for amd_pmu_get_pmc() to return a non-NULL value is if
both kvm->arch.enable_pmu and pmu->version evaluate to true.
No real functional change intended.
