Limit kvm_pmu_cap.num_counters_gp during kvm_init_pmu_capability() based on the vendor PMU capabilities so that consuming num_counters_gp naturally does the right thing. This fixes a mostly theoretical bug where KVM could over-report its PMU support in KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID for leaf 0xA, e.g. if the number of counters reported by perf is greater than KVM's hardcoded internal limit. Incorporating input from the AMD PMU also avoids over-reporting MSRs to save when running on AMD.

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.
