I think there is a problem here. We could be creating an event for a
counter beyond what is supported by the CPU. i.e, we don't
seem to validate that the mask we are creating is within the
kvm_pmu_valid_counter_mask(). The other callers seem to verify this.
I guess it may be better to add a check for this in the
kvm_pmu_enable_counter_mask().

minor nit: Feel free to ignore. If we move the check for PMCNTENSET_EL0 to
pmu_enable_counter_mask() we could get rid of the above function. Anyways,
we should only be enabling the counters set in PMCNTENSET_EL0.

nit: Name hasn't changed. Also, please could update that, the events are always
created disabled and they are only enabled lazily.

Reset looks fines.
