Commit aabcaf6ae2 ("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.

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.
