KVM: x86/pmu: Add documentation for fixed ctr on PMU filter

Update the documentation for the KVM_SET_PMU_EVENT_FILTER ioctl
to include a detailed description of how fixed performance events
are handled in the pmu filter. The action and fixed_counter_bitmap
members of the pmu filter to determine whether fixed performance
events can be programmed by the guest. This information is helpful
for correctly configuring the fixed_counter_bitmap and action fields
to filter fixed performance events.

+Via this API, KVM userspace can also control the behavior of the VM's fixed
+counters (if any) by configuring the "action" and "fixed_counter_bitmap" fields.
+
+Specifically, KVM follows the following pseudo-code when determining whether to
+allow the guest FixCtr[i] to count its pre-defined fixed event::
+
+  FixCtr[i]_is_allowed = (action == ALLOW) && (bitmap & BIT(i)) ||
+    (action == DENY) && !(bitmap & BIT(i));
+  FixCtr[i]_is_denied = !FixCtr[i]_is_allowed;
+
+KVM always consumes fixed_counter_bitmap, it's userspace's responsibility to
+ensure fixed_counter_bitmap is set correctly, e.g. if userspace wants to define
+a filter that only affects general purpose counters.
+
+Note, the "events" field also applies to fixed counters' hardcoded event_select
+and unit_mask values.  "fixed_counter_bitmap" has higher priority than "events"
+if there is a contradiction between the two.
