SW timer is enabled when vcpu thread is scheduled out, and it is
to wake up vcpu from blocked queue. If vcpu thread is scheduled out
however is not blocked, such as it is preempted by other threads,
it is not necessary to enable SW timer. Since vcpu thread is still
on running queue if preempted and SW timer is only to wake up vcpu
on blocking queue, so SW timer is not useful in this situation.
This patch enables SW timer only when vcpu is scheduled out and
is blocking.
