Subject: [PATCH 6/5] KVM: x86: fix periodic lapic timer with hrtimers

I have only compile-tested it, but it should optimize the switch and
also fix two bugs.  The first one is major.
This needs that the deadline clearing in [5/5] is fixed.
---8<---
We must start the hrimer even if the expiration is already in the past,
otherwise the periodic timer would not rearm the hrtimer.

And computing next expiration of a period timer does not require current
time.  The period should be constant, so it is more precise to add the
period to the last expiration time.  This fixes a time difference
between hrtimer expiration and apic->lapic_timer.target_expiration.
