Explicitly zero kvm_host_pmu instead of attempting to get the perf PMU
capabilities when running on a hybrid CPU to avoid running afoul of perf's
sanity check.

Always read the capabilities for non-hybrid CPUs, i.e. don't entirely
revert to reading capabilities if and only if KVM wants to use a PMU, as
it may be useful to have the host PMU capabilities available, e.g. if only
or debug.
