When creating a vcpu, we initialize its TSC rate to the value from
KVM (through ioctl KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ).

You are silently overwriting the tsc_khz value set by the user, why?

Oh, I need to check if user has provided tsc_khz, and if so then just
use the user-provided value. So I'll replace it with code like

if (env->tsc_khz) {
    kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cs, KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ, env->tsc_khz);
} else {
    r = kvm_vcpu_ioctl(cs, KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ);
    if (r < 0) {
        fprintf(stderr, "KVM_GET_TSC_KHZ failed\n");
        return r;
    }
    env->tsc_khz = r;
}

Just notice this line duplicates code several lines above. Only the
else branch is needed.
