KVM: x86: fix deadlock in clock-in-progress request handling

Browse source 
There is a deadlock in pvclock handling:

cpu0:                                               cpu1:
kvm_gen_update_masterclock()
                                              kvm_guest_time_update()
 spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)
                                               local_irq_save(flags)

spin_lock(pvclock_gtod_sync_lock)

 kvm_make_mclock_inprogress_request(kvm)
  make_all_cpus_request()
   smp_call_function_many()

Now if smp_call_function_many() called by cpu0 tries to call function on
cpu1 there will be a deadlock.

Fix by moving pvclock_gtod_sync_lock protected section outside irq
disabled section.
