KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Factor PMU save/load into context switch functions
Rather than guest/host save/retsore functions, implement context switch functions that take care of details like the VPA update for nested. The reason to split these kind of helpers into explicit save/load functions is mainly to schedule SPR access nicely, but PMU is a special case where the load requires mtSPR (to stop counters) and other difficulties, so there's less possibility to schedule those nicely. The SPR accesses also have side-effects if the PMU is running, and in later changes we keep the host PMU running as long as possible so this code can be better profiled, which also complicates scheduling.
