kvm: kvmclock: let KVM_GET_CLOCK return whether the master clock is in use
Userspace can read the exact value of kvmclock by reading the TSC
and fetching the timekeeping parameters out of guest memory. This
however is brittle and not necessary anymore with KVM 4.11. Provide
a mechanism that lets userspace know if the new KVM_GET_CLOCK
semantics are in effect, and---since we are at it---if the clock
is stable across all VCPUs.
