These pointlessly duplicate of the last_tsc_{nsec,offset,write} values.

The only place they were used was where the TSC is stable and a new vCPU
is being synchronized to the previous setting, in which case the 'last_'
value is definitely identical.

Do we need to track vcpu->arch.this_tsc_nsec/this_tsc_write? At least
they are still used in compute_guest_tsc() to calculate the guest tsc.

Ah yes, that's true. Good catch; thanks.

That should be caught by a test case which runs the guest TSC at a
higher speed than the host, but *without* hardware TSC scaling.
