     caller is __this_cpu_preempt_check+0x13/0x20

    This can be reproduced by run kvm-unit-tests/hyperv_stimer.flat w/
    CONFIG_PREEMPT and CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT enabled.
    
    Safe access to per-CPU data requires a couple of constraints, though: the
    thread working with the data cannot be preempted and it cannot be migrated
    while it manipulates per-CPU variables. If the thread is preempted, the
    thread that replaces it could try to work with the same variables; migration
    to another CPU could also cause confusion. However there is no preemption
    disable when reads host per-CPU tsc rate to calculate the current kvmclock
    timestamp.
    
    This patch fixes it by utilizing get_cpu/put_cpu pair to guarantee both
    __this_cpu_read() and rdtsc() are not preempted.
