KVM: x86/pmu: Snapshot and clear reprogramming bitmap before reprogramming
Refactor the handling of the reprogramming bitmap to snapshot and clear
to-be-processed bits before doing the reprogramming, and then explicitly
set bits for PMCs that need to be reprogrammed (again). This will allow
adding a macro to iterate over all valid PMCs without having to add
special handling for the reprogramming bit, which (a) can have bits set
for non-existent PMCs and (b) needs to clear such bits to avoid wasting
cycles in perpetuity.
Note, the existing behavior of clearing bits after reprogramming does NOT
have a race with kvm_vm_ioctl_set_pmu_event_filter(). Setting a new PMU
filter synchronizes SRCU _before_ setting the bitmap, i.e. guarantees that
the vCPU isn't in the middle of reprogramming with a stale filter prior to
setting the bitmap.
