If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer can underflow and cause delta_tsc to be set to a huge value. This generally results in vmx_set_hv_timer returning -ERANGE, but we can fix it by limiting delta_tsc to be positive or zero.
