2022-07-20	powerpc/kvm: Remove comment related to moving PMU code to perf subsystem	Kajol Jain
	Commit aabcaf6ae2a0 ("KVM: PPC: Book3S HV P9: Move host OS save/restore functions to built-in") added a comment in switch_pmu_to_guest function, indicating possibility of moving PMU handling code to perf subsystem. But perf subsystem code compilation depends upon the enablement of CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS whereas, kvm code don't have any dependency on this config. Patch remove this comment as switch_pmu_to_guest functionality is needed even if perf subsystem is disabled.

2022-07-20	powerpc/kvm: Move pmu code in kvm folder to separate file for power9 and ↵	Kajol Jain
	later platforms File book3s_hv_p9_entry.c in powerpc/kvm folder consists of functions like freeze_pmu, switch_pmu_to_guest and switch_pmu_to_host which are specific to Performance Monitoring Unit(PMU) for power9 and later platforms. For better maintenance, moving pmu related code from book3s_hv_p9_entry.c to a new file called book3s_hv_p9_perf.c, without any logic change. Also make corresponding changes in the Makefile to include book3s_hv_p9_perf.c during compilation.
