[PATCH v4 21/30] KVM: x86: Replace nr_vcpus_matched_tsc count with all_vcpus_matched_tsc bool



From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

Using a count and comparing with kvm->online_vcpus was always racy
because a new vCPU could be created while kvm_track_tsc_matching() was
running and comparing with kvm->online_vcpus. That variable is only
atomic with respect to itself; kvm_arch_vcpu_create() runs before
kvm->online_vcpus is incremented for the new vCPU.

Replace the count with a boolean that is set in kvm_track_tsc_matching()
after comparing the count, and cleared when a new TSC generation starts.
The boolean is consumed by pvclock_update_vm_gtod_copy() under the
tsc_write_lock, which serializes against __kvm_synchronize_tsc().

Keep the count for now as it's still used in the trace event.
