KVM: arm64: nv: Describe trap behaviour of MDCR_EL2.HPMN
MDCR_EL2.HPMN splits the PMU event counters into two ranges: the first range is accessible from all ELs, and the second range is accessible only to EL2/3. Supposing the guest hypervisor allows direct access to the PMU counters from the L2, KVM needs to locally handle those accesses. Add a new complex trap configuration for HPMN that checks if the counter index is accessible to the current context. As written, the architecture suggests HPMN only causes PMEVCNTR<n>_EL0 to trap, though intuition (and the pseudocode) suggest that the trap applies to PMEVTYPER<n>_EL0 as well.
