For vCPUs with APERFMPERF that are in KVM_RUN and not halted,
checkpoint the current hardware MSR values along with the host TSC
when unloading the vCPU. While still in virtual C0 state, the vCPU
will no longer run on this physical CPU, requiring different handling
for each counter:

- IA32_APERF should stop accumulating since no actual CPU cycles are
  being spent on behalf of the guest
- IA32_MPERF should continue accumulating cycles since the guest is
  still in C0 state

Later when the vCPU is reloaded, we'll use this checkpoint and the
host TSC delta to properly account for any "background" cycles that
should be reflected in the guest's IA32_MPERF value.
