kvm-steal-time and sve properties are added for KVM even if the
corresponding features are not available. Always add pmu property too.

This will allow the user to set the ARM_FEATURE_PMU feature
bit on TCG CPUs where that doesn't make sense. If we want to
make the property visible on all CPUs, we need to make it
be an error to set it when it's not valid to set it (probably
by adding some TCG/hvf equivalent to the "raise an error
in arm_set_pmu()" code branch we already have for KVM).

thanks

Doesn't TCG support PMU though?
Certainly hvf needs some care on the other hand.

Not for every CPU. If the CPU is, say, an ARM1176, then it's
too old to have the PMUv3 that our TCG code emulates. And
that kind of PMU doesn't exist on the M-profile CPUs either.
