This modifies events_{host|guest}_only which is conditionally defined
(CONFIG_KVM) yet used by arch/arm64/kernel/perf_events which is also
conditionally defined (CONFIG_HW_PERF_EVENTS). By moving this away
from the callsite we avoid a load of horrible #ifdef's and allow this
function to become a nop when KVM isn't enabled.

Is there value in updating this function to use set_bit/clear_bit
functions in bitops/atomic.h ?
