Subject: KVM: x86: handle idiv overflow at kvm_write_tsc

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>

commit 8915aa27d5efbb9185357175b0acf884325565f9 upstream.

Its possible that idivl overflows (due to large delta stored in usdiff,
valid scenario).

Create an exception handler to catch the overflow exception (division by zero
is protected by vcpu->arch.virtual_tsc_khz check), and interpret it accordingly
(delta is larger than USEC_PER_SEC).
