KVM: x86: require matched TSC offsets for master clock
With master clock, a pvclock clock read calculates:
ret = system_timestamp + [ (rdtsc + tsc_offset) - tsc_timestamp ]
Where 'rdtsc' is the host TSC.
system_timestamp and tsc_timestamp are unique, one tuple
per VM: the "master clock".
Given a host with synchronized TSCs, its obvious that
guest TSC must be matched for the above to guarantee monotonicity.
Allow master clock usage only if guest TSCs are synchronized.
