kvm: Clear performance monitoring CPUID flags

Browse Source 
Commit 3d446cf17faefd621c0842b58c92a50bd307eec7 ("kvm__setup_cpuid: use
KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID to simplify cpuid setup") causes the following errors
to be printed on host kernel dmesg:

As explained by Cyrill Gorcunov, these MSR accesses come from Linux performance
events subsystems which is not supported by our little hypervisor. Therefore,
clear the performance monitoring CPUID flags to let guest kernels know about
that.
