KVM guest: prevent tracing recursion with kvmclock
(cherry picked from commit 95ef1e52922cf75b1ea2eae54ef886f2cc47eecb)
Prevent tracing of preempt_disable() in get_cpu_var() in
kvm_clock_read(). When CONFIG_DEBUG_PREEMPT is enabled,
preempt_disable/enable() are traced and this causes the function_graph
tracer to go into an infinite recursion. By open coding the
preempt_disable() around the get_cpu_var(), we can use the notrace
version which prevents preempt_disable/enable() from being traced and
prevents the recursion.
Based on a similar patch for Xen from Jeremy Fitzhardinge.
