In the masterclock enabled case, kvmclock_offset must be adjusted so that user_ns.clock = master_kernel_ns + kvmclock_offset (that is, the value set from KVM_SET_CLOCK is the one visible at system_timestamp). This way the guest clock: 1. Starts counting when KVM_SET_CLOCK executes. 2. With the value provided by userspace.
