[PATCH] KVM: PPC: Kconfig: Enable CONFIG_VPA_PMU with KVM

Enable CONFIG_VPA_PMU with KVM to enable its usage. Currently, the
vpa-pmu driver cannot be used since it is not enabled in distro configs.

On fedora kernel 6.13.7, the config option is disabled:
$ cat /boot/config-6.13.7-200.fc41.ppc64le | grep VPA
 # CONFIG_VPA_PMU is not set

Fixes: 176cda0619b6c ("powerpc/perf: Add perf interface to expose vpa counters")
Cc: stable at vger.kernel.org # v6.13+
