Revert the hack to allow host-initiated accesses to all "PMU" MSRs,
as intel_is_valid_msr() returns true for _all_ MSRs, regardless of whether
or not it has a snowball's chance in hell of actually being a PMU MSR.
That mostly gets papered over by the actual get/set helpers only handling
MSRs that they knows about, except there's the minor detail that
kvm_pmu_{g,s}et_msr() eat reads and writes when the PMU is disabled.
I.e. KVM will happy allow reads and writes to _any_ MSR if the PMU is
disabled, either via module param or capability.
This reverts commit d1c88a4020.

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.
