[PATCH] KVM: x86/pmu: Avoid ternary operator by directly referring to counters->type

From: Like Xu
Date: Mon Dec 05 2022 - 06:37:57 EST


From: Like Xu <likexu@xxxxxxxxxxx>

In either case, the counters will point to fixed or gp pmc array, and
taking advantage of the C pointer, it's reasonable to use an almost known
mem load operation directly without disturbing the branch predictor.
