KVM: selftests: Increase robustness of LLC cache misses in PMU counters test
Currently the PMU counters test does a single CLFLUSH{,OPT} on the loop's
code, but due to speculative execution this might not cause LLC misses
within the measured section.
Instead of doing a single flush before the loop, do a cache flush on each
iteration of the loop to confuse the prediction and ensure that at least
one cache miss occurs within the measured section.
