KVM: lapic: Convert guest TSC to host time domain if necessary

To minimize the latency of timer interrupts as observed by the guest,
KVM adjusts the values it programs into the host timers to account for
the host's overhead of programming and handling the timer event.  In
the event that the adjustments are too aggressive, i.e. the timer fires
earlier than the guest expects, KVM busy waits immediately prior to
entering the guest.

Currently, KVM manually converts the delay from nanoseconds to clock
cycles.  But, the conversion is done in the guest's time domain, while
the delay occurs in the host's time domain.  This is perfectly ok when
the guest and host are using the same TSC ratio, but if the guest is
using a different ratio then the delay may not be accurate and could
wait too little or too long.

When the guest is not using the host's ratio, convert the delay from
guest clock cycles to host nanoseconds and use ndelay() instead of
__delay() to provide more accurate timing.  Because converting to
nanoseconds is relatively expensive, e.g. requires division and more
multiplication ops, continue using __delay() directly when guest and
host TSCs are running at the same ratio.
