commit 98c25ead5eda5e9d41abe57839ad3e8caf19500c upstream.
Handle the switch to/from the hypervisor/software timer when a vCPU is
blocking in common x86 instead of in VMX. Even though VMX is the only
user of a hypervisor timer, the logic and all functions involved are
generic x86 (unless future CPUs do something completely different and
implement a hypervisor timer that runs regardless of mode).
Handling the switch in common x86 will allow for the elimination of the
pre/post_blocks hooks, and also lets KVM switch back to the hypervisor
timer if and only if it was in use (without additional params). Add a
comment explaining why the switch cannot be deferred to kvm_sched_out()
or kvm_vcpu_block().
