KVM: x86: Rate-limit global clock updates on vCPU load
commit 446fcce2a52b ("Revert "x86: kvm: rate-limit global clock updates"")
dropped the rate limiting for KVM_REQ_GLOBAL_CLOCK_UPDATE.
As a result, kvm_arch_vcpu_load() can queue global clock update requests
every time a vCPU is scheduled when the master clock is disabled or when
the vCPU is loaded for the first time.
Restore the throttling with a per-VM ratelimit state and gate
KVM_REQ_GLOBAL_CLOCK_UPDATE through __ratelimit(), so frequent vCPU
scheduling does not generate a steady stream of redundant clock update
requests.
