Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 08/12] xen/time: introduce
 xen_{save,restore}_steal_clock

From: Munehisa Kamata <kamatam@...zon.com>

Currently, steal time accounting code in scheduler expects steal clock
callback to provide monotonically increasing value. If the accounting
code receives a smaller value than previous one, it uses a negative
value to calculate steal time and results in incorrectly updated idle
and steal time accounting. This breaks userspace tools which read
/proc/stat.

This can actually happen when a Xen PVHVM guest gets restored from
hibernation, because such a restored guest is just a fresh domain from
Xen perspective and the time information in runstate info starts over
from scratch.

This patch introduces xen_save_steal_clock() which saves current values
in runstate info into per-cpu variables. Its couterpart,
xen_restore_steal_clock(), sets offset if it found the current values in
runstate info are smaller than previous ones. xen_steal_clock() is also
modified to use the offset to ensure that scheduler only sees
monotonically increasing number.

Changes since V2:
    * separated the previously merged patches
    * In V2, introduction of save/restore steal clock and usage in
      hibernation code was merged in a single patch
