4.4-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: Owen Hofmann <osh@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 2680d6da455b636dd006636780c0f235c6561d70 upstream.
vmx.c writes the TSC_MULTIPLIER field in vmx_vcpu_load, but only when a
vcpu has migrated physical cpus. Record the last value written and
update in vmx_vcpu_load on any change, otherwise a cpu migration must
occur for TSC frequency scaling to take effect.
Fixes: ff2c3a1803775cc72dc6f624b59554956396b0ee
