pvclock: Add CPU barriers to get correct version value
commit 749d088b8e7f4b9826ede02b9a043e417fa84aa1 upstream. Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the time values it got are consistent by checking the version before and after reading them. Add CPU barries after getting version value just like what function vread_pvclock does, because all of callees in this function is inline.
