KVM: x86: Fix kvmclock bug
(backported from commit 28e4639adf0c9f26f6bb56149b7ab547bf33bb95) If preempted after kvmclock values are updated, but before hardware virtualization is entered, the last tsc time as read by the guest is never set. It underflows the next time kvmclock is updated if there has not yet been a successful entry / exit into hardware virt. Fix this by simply setting last_tsc to the newly read tsc value so that any computed nsec advance of kvmclock is nulled.
