backport patch to fix TSC scaling for SVM

Browse Source 
The following issue reported on the community forum [0] is likely
fixed by this.

In my case, loading a VM snapshot that originally was taken on an
Intel CPU on my AMD-based host often caused problems in other VMs. In
particular, it often led to CPU stalls, and sometimes clock jumps far
into the future. With this backport applied, everything seems to run
smoothly even after loading the "bad" snapshot 10 times.

The backport from upstream commit 11d39e8cc43e ("KVM: SVM: fix tsc
scaling cache logic consisted of dropping the parts for nested TSC
scaling, which is not yet present in our kernel, renaming the constant
for the default ratio, and some context changes.

Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: fix tsc scaling cache logic
SVM uses a per-cpu variable to cache the current value of the
tsc scaling multiplier msr on each cpu.
Commit 1ab9287add5e2
("KVM: X86: Add vendor callbacks for writing the TSC multiplier")
broke this caching logic.
Refactor the code so that all TSC scaling multiplier writes go through
a single function which checks and updates the cache.
This fixes the following scenario:
1. A CPU runs a guest with some tsc scaling ratio.
2. New guest with different tsc scaling ratio starts on this CPU
and terminates almost immediately.
This ensures that the short running guest had set the tsc scaling ratio just
once when it was set via KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ. Due to the bug,
the per-cpu cache is not updated.
3. The original guest continues to run, it doesn't restore the msr
value back to its own value, because the cache matches,
and thus continues to run with a wrong tsc scaling ratio.
