    x86/tsc: update vcpu time info on guest TSC adjustments
    
    If a HVM/PVH guest writes to MSR_IA32_TSC{_ADJUST} and thus changes
    the value of the time stamp counter the vcpu time info must also be
    updated, or the time calculated by the guest using the Xen PV clock
    interface will be skewed.
    
    Update the vcpu time info when the guest writes to either MSR_IA32_TSC
    or MSR_IA32_TSC_ADJUST. This fixes lockups seen when running the
    pv-shim on AMD hardware, since the shim will aggressively try to keep
    TSCs in sync by periodically writing to MSR_IA32_TSC if the TSC is not
    reliable.
