5.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

From: Raghavendra Rao Ananta <rananta@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 54bbee190d42166209185d89070c58a343bf514b upstream.

DDI0487K.a D13.3.1 describes the PMU overflow condition, which evaluates
to true if any counter's global enable (PMCR_EL0.E), overflow flag
(PMOVSSET_EL0[n]), and interrupt enable (PMINTENSET_EL1[n]) are all 1.
Of note, this does not require a counter to be enabled
(i.e. PMCNTENSET_EL0[n] = 1) to generate an overflow.

Align kvm_pmu_overflow_status() with the reality of the architecture
and stop using PMCNTENSET_EL0 as part of the overflow condition. The
bug was discovered while running an SBSA PMU test [*], which only sets
PMCR.E, PMOVSSET<0>, PMINTENSET<0>, and expects an overflow interrupt.
