Steal time initialization requires mapping a memory region which

However we don't need to initialize steal time at CPU starting time.
We can simply wait until CPU online time, just sacrificing a bit of
accuracy by returning zero for steal time until we know better.

While at it, add __init to the functions that are only called by
pv_time_init() which is __init.

Catalin, any chance you could queue this if you are OK with it?

Thanks,
