Subject: KVM: arm64: pmu: Set the CHAINED attribute before creating the
 in-kernel event
Patch-mainline: v5.4-rc5
Git-commit: 725ce66979fb6da5c1aec5b064d0871bedc23bf7
References: bsc#1133021

The current convention for KVM to request a chained event from the
host PMU is to set bit[0] in attr.config1 (PERF_ATTR_CFG1_KVM_PMU_CHAINED).

But as it turns out, this bit gets set *after* we create the kernel
event that backs our virtual counter, meaning that we never get
a 64bit counter.

Moving the setting to an earlier point solves the problem.
