KVM: selftests: Expand PMU counters test to verify LLC events
Expand the PMU counters test to verify that LLC references and misses have non-zero counts when the code being executed while the LLC event(s) is active is evicted via CFLUSH{,OPT}. Note, CLFLUSH{,OPT} requires a fence of some kind to ensure the cache lines are flushed before execution continues. Use MFENCE for simplicity (performance is not a concern).
