-bash: echo: write error: Cannot allocate memory

The per-cpu vsyscall pvclock data pointer assigns either an element of the
static array hv_clock_boot (#vCPU <= 64) or dynamically allocated memory
hvclock_mem (vCPU > 64), the dynamically memory will not be allocated if
kvmclock vsyscall is disabled, this can result in cpu hotpluged fails in
kvmclock_setup_percpu() which returns -ENOMEM. It's broken for no-vsyscall
and sometimes you end up with vsyscall disabled if the host does something
strange. This patch fixes it by allocating this dynamically memory
unconditionally even if vsyscall is disabled.
