x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency
KVM clock is initialized later compared to other hypervisor clocks because it has a dependency on the memblock allocator. Bring it in line with other hypervisors by using memory from the BSS instead of allocating it. The benefits: - Remove ifdef from common code - Earlier availability of the clock - Remove dependency on memblock, and reduce code The downside: - Static allocation of the per cpu data structures sized NR_CPUS * 64byte Will be addressed in follow up patches.
