Invert the flows in intel_pmu_{g,s}et_msr()'s case statements so that
they follow the kernel's preferred style of:
if (<not valid>)
return <error>
<commit change>
return <success>
which is also the style used by every other {g,s}et_msr() helper (except
AMD's PMU variant, which doesn't use a switch statement).
Modify the "set" paths with costly side effects, i.e. that reprogram
counters, to skip only the side effects, i.e. to perform reserved bits
checks even if the value is unchanged. None of the reserved bits checks
are expensive, so there's no strong justification for skipping them, and
guarding only the side effect makes it slightly more obvious what is being
skipped and why.
No functional change intended (assuming no reserved bit bugs).

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
