[2/5] x86, vdso, pvclock: Simplify and speed up the vdso pvclock reader

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@amacapital.net>

The pvclock vdso code was too abstracted to understand easily and
excessively paranoid.  Simplify it for a huge speedup.

This opens the door for additional simplifications, as the vdso no
longer accesses the pvti for any vcpu other than vcpu 0.

Before, vclock_gettime using kvm-clock took about 45ns on my machine.
With this change, it takes 29ns, which is almost as fast as the pure TSC
implementation.

Thanks. I've added your Reviewed-by to the 1/5 patch as well - to be able to put 
the whole series into the tip:x86/entry tree. Let me know if you'd like it to be 
done differently.

Thanks,

The 1/5 patch is entirely in KVM and is not necessary for the rest of
the series to work.  I would like it to be separate, because Marcelo has
not yet chimed in to say why it was necessary.

Can you just apply patches 2-5?

Yes, please.  I don't grok the clock update mechanism in the KVM host
well enough to be sure that patch 1 is actually correct.  All I know
is that it works better on my laptop with the patch than without the
patch and that it seems at least conceptually correct.

In any event, patch 1 is a host patch and 2-5 are guest patches, and
they only interact to the extent that it's hard for me to test 2-5 on
the guest without patch 1 on the host because without patch 1 my
laptop's host kernel tends to disable stable kvmclock, thus disabling
the entire mechanism in the guest.
