Hi Marc,

We accept to configure a PMU when a vcpu is created, even if the
HW (or the host) doesn't support it. This results in failures
when attributes get set, which is a bit odd as we should have
failed the vcpu creation the first place.

Move the check to the point where we check the vcpu feature set,
and fail early if we cannot support a PMU. This further simplifies
the attribute handling.

This looks correct, but right at the beginning of the function, before this non-preemptible section, we do kvm_pmu_vcpu_reset(), which is wrong for several
reasons:

- we don't check if the feature flag is set
- we don't check if the hardware supports a PMU
- kvm_pmu_vcpu_reset() relies on __vcpu_sys_reg(vcpu, PMCR_EL0), which is set in
kvm_reset_sys_regs() below when the VCPU is initialized.

I'm not sure it actually matters. Here's my rational:

- PMU support not compiled in: no problem!
- PMU support compiled in, but no HW PMU: we just reset some state to 0, no harm done
- HW PMU, but no KVM PMU for this vcpu: same thing
- HW PMU, and KVM PMU: we do the right thing!

Am I missing anything?

Thanks,

        M.
