Given that throttle_timer (well, any timer) may tick with a slight delay, it so happens that under heavy throttling (ie. close or on CPU_THROTTLE_PCT_MAX) the tick may schedule a further cpu_throttle_thread() work item after the flag reset, but before the previous sleep completed. This results on the vCPU thread sleeping continuously for potentially several seconds in a row. The chances of that happening can be drastically minimised by resetting the flag after the sleep.
