Make the match of TSC find TSC writes that are close to each other
instead of perfectly identical; this allows the compensator to also
work in migration / suspend scenarios.

Add a helper function to compute the kernel time and convert nanoseconds
back to CPU specific cycles. Note that these must not be called in preemptible
context, as that would mean the kernel could enter software suspend state,
which would cause non-atomic operation.
Also, convert the KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOCK ioctls to use the kernel
time helper, these should be bootbased as well.

When CPUs with unstable TSCs enter deep C-state, TSC may stop
running. This causes us to require resynchronization. Since
we can't tell when this may potentially happen, we assume the
worst by forcing re-compensation for it at every point the VCPU
task is descheduled.

This simplifies much of the init code; we can now simply always
call tsc_khz_changed, optionally passing it a new value, or letting
it figure out the existing value (while interrupts are disabled, and
thus, by inference from the rule, not raceful against CPU hotplug or
frequency updates, which will issue IPIs to the local CPU to perform
this very same task).

Attempt to synchronize TSCs which are reset to the same value. In the
case of a reliable hardware TSC, we can just re-use the same offset, but
on non-reliable hardware, we can get closer by adjusting the offset to
match the elapsed time.

Also, ensure that the storing of the offset and the reading of the TSC
are never preempted by taking a spinlock. While the lock is overkill
now, it is useful later in this patch series.

This is used only by the VMX code, and is not done properly;
if the TSC is indeed backwards, it is out of sync, and will
need proper handling in the logic at each and every CPU change.
For now, drop this test during init as misguided.

Latest kvm mmu_shrink code rework makes kernel changes kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages/
kvm->arch.n_max_mmu_pages at kvm_mmu_free_page/kvm_mmu_alloc_page, which is called
by kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page. So the kvm->arch.n_used_mmu_pages or
kvm_mmu_available_pages(vcpu->kvm) is unchanged after kvm_mmu_prepare_zap_page(),
This caused kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages/__kvm_mmu_free_some_pages loops forever.
Moving kvm_mmu_commit_zap_page would make the while loop performs as normal.

Of slab shrinkers, the VM code says:
* Note that 'shrink' will be passed nr_to_scan == 0 when the VM is
* querying the cache size, so a fastpath for that case is appropriate.
and it *means* it. Look at how it calls the shrinkers:
nr_before = (*shrinker->shrink)(0, gfp_mask);
shrink_ret = (*shrinker->shrink)(this_scan, gfp_mask);
So, if you do anything stupid in your shrinker, the VM will doubly
punish you.
The mmu_shrink() function takes the global kvm_lock, then acquires
every VM's kvm->mmu_lock in sequence. If we have 100 VMs, then
we're going to take 101 locks. We do it twice, so each call takes
202 locks. If we're under memory pressure, we can have each cpu
trying to do this. It can get really hairy, and we've seen lock
spinning in mmu_shrink() be the dominant entry in profiles.
This is guaranteed to optimize at least half of those lock
aquisitions away. It removes the need to take any of the locks
when simply trying to count objects.
A 'percpu_counter' can be a large object, but we only have one
of these for the entire system. There are not any better
alternatives at the moment, especially ones that handle CPU
hotplug.

Doing this makes the code much more readable. That's
borne out by the fact that this patch removes code. "used"
also happens to be the number that we need to return back to
the slab code when our shrinker gets called. Keeping this
value as opposed to free makes the next patch simpler.
So, 'struct kvm' is kzalloc()'d. 'struct kvm_arch' is a
structure member (and not a pointer) of 'struct kvm'. That
means they start out zeroed. I _think_ they get initialized
properly by kvm_mmu_change_mmu_pages(). But, that only happens
via kvm ioctls.
Another benefit of storing 'used' intead of 'free' is
that the values are consistent from the moment the structure is
allocated: no negative "used" value.

arch.n_alloc_mmu_pages is a poor choice of name. This value truly
means, "the number of pages which _may_ be allocated". But,
reading the name, "n_alloc_mmu_pages" implies "the number of allocated
mmu pages", which is dead wrong.
It's really the high watermark, so let's give it a name to match:
nr_max_mmu_pages. This change will make the next few patches
much more obvious and easy to read.

"free" is a poor name for this value. In this context, it means,
"the number of mmu pages which this kvm instance should be able to
allocate." But "free" implies much more that the objects are there
and ready for use. "available" is a much better description, especially
when you see how it is calculated.
In this patch, we abstract its use into a function. We'll soon
replace the function's contents by calculating the value in a
different way.
All of the reads of n_free_mmu_pages are taken care of in this
patch. The modification sites will be handled in a patch
later in the series.
