During hotplug, the stolen time data structure is unmapped and memset.
There is a possibility of the timer IRQ being triggered before memset
and stolen time is getting updated as part of this timer IRQ handler. This
causes the below crash in timer handler -

As a fix, introduce rcu lock to update stolen time structure.
