Subject: [PATCH v3] xen: Fix x86 sched_clock() interface for xen

Commit f94c8d11699759 ("sched/clock, x86/tsc: Rework the x86 'unstable'
sched_clock() interface") broke Xen guest time handling across
migration:

[  187.249951] Freezing user space processes ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
[  187.251137] OOM killer disabled.
[  187.251137] Freezing remaining freezable tasks ... (elapsed 0.001 seconds) done.
[  187.252299] suspending xenstore...
[  187.266987] xen:grant_table: Grant tables using version 1 layout
[18446743811.706476] OOM killer enabled.
[18446743811.706478] Restarting tasks ... done.
[18446743811.720505] Setting capacity to 16777216

Fix that by setting xen_sched_clock_offset at resume time to ensure a
monotonic clock value.
