commit 3837407c1aa1 upstream.
The specification says PMSWINC increments PMEVCNTR<n>_EL1 by 1
if PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 is enabled and configured to count SW_INCR.
For PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 to be enabled, we need both PMCNTENSET to
be set for the corresponding event counter but we also need
the PMCR.E bit to be set.
Fixes: 7a0adc7064b8 ("arm64: KVM: Add access handler for PMSWINC register")

This is a backport of 3837407c1aa1 ("KVM: arm64: pmu: Don't
increment SW_INCR if PMCR.E is unset") which did not apply on
4.9-stable and 4.14-stable trees. Compared to the original patch
__vcpu_sys_reg() is replaced by vcpu_sys_reg().
v1 -> v2:
- this patch also is candidate for 4.9-stable
