But it still needs to check PMCR_EL0.E in kvm_pmu_handle_pmcr(). When
PMCR_EL0.E == 1, it calls kvm_pmu_enable_counter(), otherwise it calls
kvm_pmu_disable_counter(). So as it checks already, just pass the result
as a parameter.

To enable a counter, it needs both the PMCR_EL0.E and the corresponding
bit of PMCNTENSET_EL0 set to 1. But to disable a counter, it only needs
one of them and when PMCR_EL0.E == 0， it disables all the counters.
