Commit 112665286d08 moved guest_exit() in the interrupt protected
area to avoid wrong context warning (or worse), but the tick counter
cannot be updated and the guest time is accounted to the system time.
To fix the problem port to POWER the x86 fix
160457140187 ("Defer vtime accounting 'til after IRQ handling"):
"Defer the call to account guest time until after servicing any IRQ(s)
that happened in the guest or immediately after VM-Exit. Tick-based
accounting of vCPU time relies on PF_VCPU being set when the tick IRQ
handler runs, and IRQs are blocked throughout the main sequence of
vcpu_enter_guest(), including the call into vendor code to actually
enter and exit the guest."
