Yes, this is kind of a static property that should really be part of a
"kvm_pmu_vcpu_init()" or "kvm_pmu_vcpu_create()" and is not expected to
be modified across resets...

There is no such function at the time and I'm unsure whether this
warrants creating that separate function (I would still suggest creating
it to make things clearer).

Whatever other opinions are on splitting pmu_vcpu_init/reset, that
change makes sense and fixes the issue:
