Subject: x86: kvm: Revert "remove sched notifier for cross-cpu migrations"

From: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>

commit 0a4e6be9ca17c54817cf814b4b5aa60478c6df27 upstream.

The following point:

    2. per-CPU pvclock time info is updated if the
       underlying CPU changes.

Is not true anymore since "KVM: x86: update pvclock area conditionally,
on cpu migration".

Add task migration notification back.

Problem noticed by Andy Lutomirski.
