mainlining shenanigans

If the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or even in the past, the computation in vmx_set_hv_timer will program the absolute target tsc value to vmcs preemption timer field w/ delta == 0, then plays a vmentry and an upcoming vmx preemption timer fire vmexit dance, the lapic timer injection is delayed due to this duration. Actually the lapic timer which is emulated by hrtimer can handle this correctly. This patch fixes it by firing the lapic timer and injecting a timer interrupt immediately during the next vmentry if the TSC deadline timer is programmed really close to the deadline or even in the past. This saves ~300 cycles on the tsc_deadline_timer test of apic.flat.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
