hpa found that pmu_msr_write() is actually a completely pointless
function:

  https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/0ec48b84-d158-47c6-b14c-3563fd14bcc4@zytor.com/

all it does is shuffle some arguments, then calls pmu_msr_chk_emulated()
and if it returns true AND the emulated flag is clear then does
*exactly the same thing* that the calling code would have done if
pmu_msr_write() itself had returned true.

And pmu_msr_read() does the equivalent stupidity.

Remove the calls to native_{read,write}_msr{,_safe}() within
pmu_msr_{read,write}().  Instead reuse the existing calling code
that decides whether to call native_{read,write}_msr{,_safe}() based
on the return value from pmu_msr_{read,write}().  Consequently,
eliminate the need to pass an error pointer to pmu_msr_{read,write}().

While at it, refactor pmu_msr_write() to take the MSR value as a u64
argument, replacing the current dual u32 arguments, because the dual
u32 arguments were only used to call native_write_msr{,_safe}(), which
has now been removed.
