Subject: [PATCH v2 13/15] KVM: x86: Kill cur_tsc_{nsec,offset,write} fields

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@...zon.co.uk>

These pointlessly duplicate of the last_tsc_{nsec,offset,write} values.

The only place they were used was where the TSC is stable and a new vCPU
is being synchronized to the previous setting, in which case the 'last_'
value is definitely identical.
