From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx> The per-cpu vsyscall pvclock data pointer assigns either an element of the static array hv_clock_boot (#vCPU <= 64) or dynamically allocated memory hvclock_mem (vCPU > 64), the dynamically memory will not be allocated if kvmclock vsyscall is disabled, this can result in cpu hotpluged fails in kvmclock_setup_percpu() which returns -ENOMEM. This patch fixes it by not assigning vsyscall pvclock data pointer if kvmclock vdso_clock_mode is not VDSO_CLOCKMODE_PVCLOCK.
