KVM: x86: TSC catchup mode
Negate the effects of AN TYM spell while kvm thread is preempted by tracking
conversion factor to the highest TSC rate and catching the TSC up when it has
fallen behind the kernel view of time. Note that once triggered, we don't
turn off catchup mode.
A slightly more clever version of this is possible, which only does catchup
when TSC rate drops, and which specifically targets only CPUs with broken
TSC, but since these all are considered unstable_tsc(), this patch covers
all necessary cases.
