Subject: [PATCH] kvm: x86: fix reversed timespec values in PV wall clock

commit 8171cd68806b ("KVM: x86: use raw clock values consistently")
causes KVM to accidentally write seconds to the nanoseconds field (and
vice versa) in the KVM wall clock. Fix it by reversing this accidental
switch. Modulo the written nanoseconds value by NSEC_PER_SEC to correct
for the amount of time represented as seconds.
