Subject: [PATCH 3.16.y-ckt 134/142] KVM: x86: move steal time initialization to vcpu entry time

3.16.7-ckt26 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

---8<------------------------------------------------------------

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@...hat.com>

commit 7cae2bedcbd4680b155999655e49c27b9cf020fa upstream.

As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350,
it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized
from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via
KVM_SET_MSRS.

Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
sched_info.run_delay).

To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time,
before copying steal time data to guest.
