Subject: [PATCH][next] KVM: x86: remove redundant WARN_ON check of an unsigned less than zero

From: Colin Ian King <colin.king@...onical.com>

The check cpu->hv_clock.system_time < 0 is redundant since system_time
is a u64 and hence can never be less than zero. Remove it.

Addresses-Coverity: ("Macro compares unsigned to 0")
