kvm: x86/cpuid: Only provide CPUID leaf 0xA if host has architectural PMU
On some x86 processors, CPUID leaf 0xA provides information on Architectural Performance Monitoring features. It advertises a PMU version which Qemu uses to determine the availability of additional MSRs to manage the PMCs. Upon receiving a KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID ioctl request for the same, the kernel constructs return values based on the x86_pmu_capability irrespective of the vendor. This leaf and the additional MSRs are not supported on AMD and Hygon processors. If AMD PerfMonV2 is detected, the PMU version is set to 2 and guest startup breaks because of an attempt to access a non-existent MSR. Return zeros to avoid this.
