From: Jim Mattson <jmattson@xxxxxxxxxx>
Per the SDM, "When the local APIC handles a performance-monitoring
counters interrupt, it automatically sets the mask flag in the LVT
performance counter register."
Add this behavior to KVM's local APIC emulation, to reduce the
incidence of "dazed and confused" spurious NMI warnings in Linux
guests (at least, those that use a PMI handler with "late_ack").
Fixes: 23930f9521c9 ("KVM: x86: Enable NMI Watchdog via in-kernel PIT source")
