KVM: Fix kvmclock on !constant_tsc boxes

kvmclock currently falls apart on machines without constant tsc.
This patch fixes it.  Changes:

  * keep tsc frequency in a per-cpu variable.
  * handle kvmclock update using a new request flag, thus checking
    whenever we need an update each time we enter guest context.
  * use a cpufreq notifier to track frequency changes and force
    kvmclock updates.
  * send ipis to kick cpu out of guest context if needed to make
    sure the guest doesn't see stale values.
