Subject: [PATCH] KVM: LAPIC: Fix an inversion error when a negative value assigned to lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns

From: Shuling Zhou <zhoushuling@...wei.com>

After 'commit 0e6edceb8f18 ("KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic_timer_advance_ns
parameter overflow")',a negative value can be assigned to
lapic_timer_advance_ns, when it is '-1', the kvm_create_lapic()
will judge it and turns on adaptive tuning of timer advancement.
However, when lapic_timer_advance_ns=-2, it will be assigned to
an uint variable apic->lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns, the
apic->lapic_timer.timer_advance_ns of each vCPU will become a huge
value. When a VM is started, the VM is stuck in the
