Subject: [PATCH 1/2] KVM: KVM-on-hyperv: shorten no-entry section on reenlightenment

During re-enlightenment, update kvmclock a VM at a time instead of
raising KVM_REQ_MASTERCLOCK_UPDATE for all VMs.  Because the guests
can now run after TSC emulation has been disabled, invalidate
their TSC page so that they refer to the reference time counter
MSR while the update is in progress.
