When a VCPU is scheduled in on a different CPU, refresh the hrtimer used
for emulating count/compare so that it gets migrated to the same CPU.

This should prevent a timer interrupt occurring on a different CPU to
where the guest it relates to is running, which would cause the guest
timer interrupt not to be delivered until after the next guest exit.

v2:
 - Move kvm_mips_migrate_count() into kvm_tlb.c to fix a link error when
   KVM is built as a module, since kvm_tlb.c is built statically and
   cannot reference symbols in kvm_mips_emul.c.
