Subject: [PATCH] x86/apic: Stop the TSC Deadline timer during lapic timer shutdown

According to Intel SDM, for the local APIC timer,
1. "The initial-count register is a read-write register. A write of 0 to
   the initial-count register effectively stops the local APIC timer, in
   both one-shot and periodic mode."
2. "In TSC deadline mode, writes to the initial-count register are
   ignored; and current-count register always reads 0. Instead, timer
   behavior is controlled using the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR."
   "In TSC-deadline mode, writing 0 to the IA32_TSC_DEADLINE MSR disarms
   the local-APIC timer."

Current code in lapic_timer_shutdown() writes 0 to the initial-count
register. This stops the local APIC timer for one-shot and periodic mode
only. In TSC deadline mode, the timer is not properly stopped.

Some CPUs are affected by this and they are woke up by the armed timer
in s2idle in TSC deadline mode.

Stop the TSC deadline timer in lapic_timer_shutdown() by writing 0 to
MSR_IA32_TSC_DEADLINE.
