Actually I think this is OK. This function is only called by
kvm_pmu_set_counter_event_type and kvm_pmu_set_counter_value - both these
functions are called from arch/arm64/kvm/sys_regs.c which ensures that
pmu_counter_idx_valid is true (which is same as kvm_pmu_valid_counter_mask).
This does become a problem in the next patch when we add chained counters
however we then add the check against kvm_pmu_valid_counter_mask (see
kvm_pmu_enable_counter_mask).

This does seem acceptable, however the next patch adds a
kvm_pmu_sync_counter_pair function, which does add some additional value. So
whilst kvm_pmu_sync_counter_enable may seem redundant here it is built upon
later.
