KVM: x86/pmu: Reject userspace attempts to set reserved GLOBAL_STATUS bits
Reject userspace writes to MSR_CORE_PERF_GLOBAL_STATUS that attempt to set reserved bits. Allowing userspace to stuff reserved bits doesn't harm KVM itself, but it's architecturally wrong and the guest can't clear the unsupported bits, e.g. makes the guest's PMI handler very confused.
