Subject: [PATCH] KVM: tsc deadline timer works only when hrtimer high resolution configured
This is for 2 reasons:
1. it's pointless to enable tsc deadline timer to guest when kernel hrtimer
not configured as high resolution, since that would be un-precise based on wheel;
2. tsc deadline timer based on hrtimer, setting a leftmost node to rb tree
and then do hrtimer reprogram. If hrtimer not configured as high resolution,
hrtimer_enqueue_reprogram do nothing and would make tsc deadline timer fail.
