[PATCH v8 1/8] KVM: x86/pmu: Do not map fixed counters >= 3 to generic perf events

Only fixed counters 0..2 have matching generic cross-platform
hardware perf events (INSTRUCTIONS, CPU_CYCLES, REF_CPU_CYCLES).
Therefore, perf_get_hw_event_config() is only applicable to these
counters.

KVM does not intend to emulate fixed counters >= 3 on legacy
(non-mediated) vPMU, while for mediated vPMU, KVM does not care what
the fixed counter event mappings are.  Therefore, return 0 for their
eventsel.

The two BUILD_BUG_ON() checks are no longer needed, so drop them along
with __always_inline.

v6:
- Re-arrange the code for early return. Clearer.
v2:
- Replace 3 in "if (index < 3)" with ARRAY_SIZE(fixed_pmc_perf_ids).
