KVM relies on ARM64_WORKAROUND_PMUV3_IMPDEF_TRAPS as a system-wide precondition for PMUv3 emulation on affected Apple CPUs. A local CPU erratum is too weak for that: once the workaround is enabled, a late CPU that misses it may still be onlined.
Make the workaround an all-early-CPU capability instead. The matcher is still local because it depends on MIDR_EL1, but the capability is only advertised if all early CPUs match, and late CPUs that miss it are rejected once the capability is enabled.
