Wanpeng, thanks for the patch.

IMHO, it's not good to start_sw_tscdeadline() on the start_hv_tscdeadline()
function. I think it's expected that the sw_timer is stopped when
start_hv_tscdeadline() returns successsfully, or sw_timer is not impacted if
start_hv_tscdeadline() fails. But it's not expected that start_hv_tscdeadline()
returns successfully while in fact it's the sw_timer started instead :)
Would it be better to simply return failure here, and the caller then
starts the sw_timer?

Not sure if we could put this check into the start_hv_tscdeadline(). It will also
make the race window all in the same function.

As comments above, would it be good to check the return of
start_hv_tscdeadline() and then start_sw_tscdeadline() if it fails? Just my 2
cents.
Thanks
