KVM: x86: hyper-v: Prevent using not-yet-updated TSC page by secondary CPUs
When KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE request is issued (e.g. after migration) we need to make sure no vCPU sees stale values in PV clock structures and thus all vCPUs are kicked with KVM_REQ_CLOCK_UPDATE. Hyper-V TSC page clocksource is global and kvm_guest_time_update() only updates in on vCPU0 but this is not entirely correct: nothing blocks some other vCPU from entering the guest before we finish the update on CPU0 and it can read stale values from the page. Invalidate TSC page in kvm_gen_update_masterclock() to switch all vCPUs to using MSR based clocksource (HV_X64_MSR_TIME_REF_COUNT).
