Initialize x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs to return 0/NULL to handle the "nop"
case. Patching in perf_guest_get_msrs_nop() during setup does not work
if there is no PMU, as setup bails before updating the static calls,
leaving x86_pmu.guest_get_msrs NULL and thus a complete nop. Ultimately,
this causes VMX abort on VM-Exit due to KVM putting random garbage from
the stack into the MSR load list.
Add a comment in KVM to note that nr_msrs is valid if and only if the
return value is non-NULL.

v2:
- Use __static_call_return0 to return NULL instead of manually checking
the hook at invocation. [Peter]
- Rebase to tip/sched/core, commit 4117cebf1a9f ("psi: Optimize task
switch inside shared cgroups").
