From: Mingwei Zhang <mizhang@xxxxxxxxxx>
Only allow writing to event selector if event is allowed in filter. Since
passthrough PMU implementation does the PMU context switch at VM Enter/Exit
boudary, even if the value of event selector passes the checking, it cannot
be written directly to HW since PMU HW is owned by the host PMU at the
moment. Because of that, introduce eventsel_hw to cache that value which
will be assigned into HW just before VM entry.
Note that regardless of whether an event value is allowed, the value will
be cached in pmc->eventsel and guest VM can always read the cached value
back. This implementation is consistent with the HW CPU design.
