Prevent the guest from setting the NSH bit, which enables event counting while the PE is in EL2. kvm_pmu_create_perf_event() never wired up the bit, nor does it make any sense in the context of a guest without NV. While at it, build the event type mask using explicit field definitions instead of relying on ARMV8_PMU_EVTYPE_MASK. KVM probably should've been doing this in the first place, as it avoids changes to the aforementioned mask affecting sysreg emulation.
