Subject: [PATCH v3 2/2] KVM: x86/xen: Stop Xen timer before changing IRQ

Stop Xen timer (if it's running) prior to changing the IRQ vector and
potentially (re)starting the timer. Changing the IRQ vector while the
timer is still running can result in KVM injecting a garbage event, e.g.
vm_xen_inject_timer_irqs() could see a non-zero xen.timer_pending from
a previous timer but inject the new xen.timer_virq.

Fixes: 536395260582 ("KVM: x86/xen: handle PV timers oneshot mode")
