Subject: [PATCH] KVM: x86: Protect pmu_intel.c from Spectre-v1/L1TF attacks

This fixes Spectre-v1/L1TF vulnerabilities in intel_find_fixed_event() and intel_rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc().
kvm_rdpmc() (ancestor of intel_find_fixed_event()) and reprogram_fixed_counter() (ancestor of intel_rdpmc_ecx_to_pmc()) are exported symbols so KVM should treat them conservatively from a security perspective.

Fixes 25462f7f5295 ("KVM: x86/vPMU: Define kvm_pmu_ops to support vPMU function dispatch")
