Subject: [PATCH v4 1/3] KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic timer mode transition

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpeng.li@...mail.com>

SDM 10.5.4.1 TSC-Deadline Mode mentioned that "Transitioning between TSC-Deadline
mode and other timer modes also disarms the timer". So the APIC Timer Initial Count
Register for one-shot/periodic mode should be reset. This patch do it.
