3.16.7-ckt11 -stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let me know.
------------------
From: =?UTF-8?q?Radim=20Kr=C4=8Dm=C3=A1=C5=99?= <rkrcmar@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit 80f7fdb1c7f0f9266421f823964fd1962681f6ce upstream.
If we were migrated right after __getcpu, but before reading the
migration_count, we wouldn't notice that we read TSC of a different
VCPU, nor that KVM's bug made pvti invalid, as only migration_count
on source VCPU is increased.
Change vdso instead of updating migration_count on destination.
