Subject: x86: kvm: Revert "remove sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations"
From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27 upstream.
The following point:
2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the
underlying CPU changes.
Is not true anymore since "KVM: x86: update pvclock area conditionally,
on cpu migration".
Add task migration notification back.
Problem noticed by Andy Lutomirski.
