    KVM: x86/svm: Clear reserved bits written to PerfEvtSeln MSRs
    
    [ Upstream commit 9b026073db2f1ad0e4d8b61c83316c8497981037 ]
    
    AMD EPYC CPUs never raise a #GP for a WRMSR to a PerfEvtSeln MSR. Some
    reserved bits are cleared, and some are not. Specifically, on
    Zen3/Milan, bits 19 and 42 are not cleared.
    
    When emulating such a WRMSR, KVM should not synthesize a #GP,
    regardless of which bits are set. However, undocumented bits should
    not be passed through to the hardware MSR. So, rather than checking
    for reserved bits and synthesizing a #GP, just clear the reserved
    bits.
    
    This may seem pedantic, but since KVM currently does not support the
    "Host/Guest Only" bits (41:40), it is necessary to clear these bits
    rather than synthesizing #GP, because some popular guests (e.g Linux)
    will set the "Host Only" bit even on CPUs that don't support
    EFER.SVME, and they don't expect a #GP.
    
    For example,
    
    root@Ubuntu1804:~# perf stat -e r26 -a sleep 1
    
     Performance counter stats for 'system wide':
    
                     0      r26
