This can be reproduced readily by running a full dynticks guest(since hrtimer
in guest is heavily used) w/ lapic_timer_advance disabled.

If fail to program hardware preemption timer, we will fallback to hrtimer based
method, however, a previous programmed preemption timer miss to cancel in this
scenario which results in one hardware preemption timer and one hrtimer emulated
tsc deadline timer run simultaneously. So sometimes the target guest deadline
tsc is earlier than guest tsc, which leads to the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer
can underflow and cause delta_tsc to be set a huge value, then host soft lockup
as above.

This patch fix it by cancelling the previous programmed preemption timer if there
is once we failed to program the new preemption timer and fallback to hrtimer
based method.
