[PATCH 23/23] kvm: make tsc stable over migration and machine start

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>]

From: Glauber Costa <glommer@xxxxxxxxxx>

If the machine is stopped, we should not record two different tsc values
upon a save operation. The same problem happens with kvmclock.

But kvmclock is taking a different diretion, being now seen as a separate
device. Since this is unlikely to happen with the tsc, I am taking the
approach here of simply registering a handler for state change, and
using a per-CPUState variable that prevents double updates for the TSC.
