[PATCH v7 1/6] KVM: x86: Fix potential race in KVM_GET_CLOCK

[Oliver Upton]

Sean noticed that KVM_GET_CLOCK was checking kvm_arch.use_master_clock
outside of the pvclock sync lock. This is problematic, as the clock
value written to the user may or may not actually correspond to a stable
TSC.

Fix the race by populating the entire kvm_clock_data structure behind
the pvclock_gtod_sync_lock.
