kvm: fix i8254 counter 0 wraparound
The kvm i8254 emulation for counter 0 (but not for counters 1 and 2) has at least two bugs in mode 0: 1. The OUT bit, computed by pit_get_out(), is never set high. 2. The counter value, computed by pit_get_count(), wraps back around to the initial counter value, rather than wrapping back to 0xFFFF (which is the behavior described in the comment in __kpit_elapsed, the behavior implemented by qemu, and the behavior observed on AMD hardware). The bug stems from __kpit_elapsed computing the elapsed time mod the initial counter value (stored as nanoseconds in ps->period). This is both unnecessary (none of the callers of kpit_elapsed expect the value to be at most the initial counter value) and incorrect (it causes pit_get_count to appear to wrap around to the initial counter value rather than 0xFFFF). Removing this mod from __kpit_elapsed fixes both of the above bugs.
