selftests: kvm/x86: Verify the pmu event filter matches the correct event
Add a test to demonstrate that when the guest programs an event select it is matched correctly in the pmu event filter and not inadvertently filtered. This could happen on AMD if the high nybble[1] in the event select gets truncated away only leaving the bottom byte[2] left for matching. This is a contrived example used for the convenience of demonstrating this issue, however, this can be applied to event selects 0x28A (OC Mode Switch) and 0x08A (L1 BTB Correction), where 0x08A could end up being denied when the event select was only set up to deny 0x28A. [1] bits 35:32 in the event select register and bits 11:8 in the event select. [2] bits 7:0 in the event select register and bits 7:0 in the event select.
