If fail to program hardware preemption timer, we will fallback to hrtimer based method, however, a previous programmed preemption timer miss to cancel in this scenario which results in one hardware preemption timer and one hrtimer emulated tsc deadline timer run simultaneously. So sometimes the target guest deadline tsc is earlier than guest tsc, which leads to the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer can underflow and cause delta_tsc to be set a huge value, then host soft lockup as above. This patch fix it by cancelling the previous programmed preemption timer if there is once we failed to program the new preemption timer and fallback to hrtimer based method.
