KVM: x86: update pvclock area conditionally, on cpu migration
As requested by Glauber, do not update kvmclock area on vcpu->pcpu migration, in case the host has stable TSC. This is to reduce cacheline bouncing. Acked-by: Glauber Costa <glommer@parallels.com> Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>
