Refactor the nested VMX PMU refresh helper to pass it a flag stating whether or not the vCPU has PERF_GLOBAL_CTRL instead of having the nVMX helper query the information by bouncing through kvm_x86_ops.pmu_ops. This will allow a future patch to use static_call() for the PMU ops without having to export any static call definitions from common x86, and it is also a step toward unexported kvm_x86_ops. Alternatively, nVMX could call kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr() to indirectly use kvm_x86_ops.pmu_ops, but that would incur an extra layer of indirection and would require exporting kvm_pmu_is_valid_msr(). Opportunistically rename the helper to keep line lengths somewhat reasonable, and to better capture its high-level role. No functional change intended.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
