4.8-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Marc Zyngier <marc.zyngier@xxxxxxx>
commit 850540351bb1a4fa5f192e5ce55b89928cc57f42 upstream.
Commit f436b2ac90a0 ("arm64: kernel: fix architected PMU registers
unconditional access") made sure we wouldn't access unimplemented
PMU registers, but also left MDCR_EL2 uninitialized in that case,
leading to trap bits being potentially left set.
Make sure we always write something in that register.
