If there are active VCPUs which are marked as belonging to
a particular hardware CPU, request a clock sync for them when
enabling hardware; the TSC could be desynchronized on a newly
arriving CPU, and we need to recompute guests system time
relative to boot after a suspend event.
This covers both cases.
Note that it is acceptable to take the spinlock, as either
no other tasks will be running and no locks held (BSP after
resume), or other tasks will be guaranteed to drop the lock
relatively quickly (AP on CPU_STARTING).
Noting we now get clock synchronization requests for VCPUs
which are starting up (or restarting), it is tempting to
attempt to remove the arch/x86/kvm/x86.c CPU hot-notifiers
at this time, however it is not correct to do so; they are
required for systems with non-constant TSC as the frequency
may not be known immediately after the processor has started
until the cpufreq driver has had a chance to run and query
the chipset.
Updated: implement better locking semantics for hardware_enable
Removed the hack of dropping and retaking the lock by adding the
semantic that we always hold kvm_lock when hardware_enable is
called. The one place that doesn't need to worry about it is
resume, as resuming a frozen CPU, the spinlock won't be taken.

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
