Enable/disable event counters as appropriate when entering and exiting
the guest to enable support for guest or host only event counting.

For both VHE and non-VHE we switch the counters between host/guest at
EL2. EL2 is filtered out by the PMU when we are using the :G modifier.

The PMU may be on when we change which counters are enabled however
we avoid adding an isb as we instead rely on existing context
synchronisation events: the isb in kvm_arm_vhe_guest_exit for VHE and
the eret from the hvc in kvm_call_hyp.

Nit:
Instead of clearing host counters we could clear non-guest counters:

	u32 clear_events = host_ctxt->events_hosts & ~guest;
		
	if (clear_events)
		write_sysreg(clear_events, pmcntenclr_el0);

Don't know if it makes a lot of difference.

We know this is true. If both (host == 0 && guest == 0) then (host ==
guest) meaning we returned false.

Nit:
Same as above, we could just clear the counters that are exclusive to
the guest.

In the case where an event is enabled for both host and guest, your
suggested change prevents us from unnecessarily clearing and then setting
the same bit. Thus is may prevent a call to write_sysreg.

Doh.
