Previously any PMU overflow interrupt that fired while a VCPU was loaded was recorded as a guest event whether it truly was or not. This resulted in nonsense perf recordings that did not honor perf_event_attr.exclude_guest and recorded guest IPs where it should have recorded host IPs. Rework the sampling logic to only record guest samples for events with exclude_guest = 0. This way any host-only events with exclude_guest set will never see unexpected guest samples. The behaviour of events with exclude_guest = 0 is unchanged. Note that events configured to sample both host and guest may still misattribute a PMI that arrived in the host as a guest event depending on KVM arch and vendor behavior.
