Batch reprogramming PMU counters by setting KVM_REQ_PMU and thus deferring reprogramming kvm_pmu_handle_event() to avoid reprogramming a counter multiple times during a single VM-Exit. Deferring programming will also allow KVM to fix a bug where immediately reprogramming a counter can result in sleeping (taking a mutex) while interrupts are disabled in the VM-Exit fastpath. Introduce kvm_pmu_request_counter_reprogam() to make it obvious that KVM is _requesting_ a reprogram and not actually doing the reprogram. Opportunistically refine related comments to avoid misunderstandings.

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.
