Fix two issues in kvm_restore_timer():
Patch 1 fixes a one-shot timer firing immediately after migration because
vcpu->arch.expire is not migrated.
Patch 2 fixes a division-by-zero crash when a guest programs a periodic
timer with a period value of zero.
Both are in the same function (kvm_restore_timer) and are sent as a
series for convenience.

Changes in v3:
- Add patch 2 (division by zero fix, found by Sashiko AI review).
- Reuse the existing now timestamp instead of a redundant ktime_get().
Changes in v2:
- Move the expire check before ktime_before() (suggested by Bibo Mao)
- Remove the old else-if branch that was one-shot only.

kvm_restore_timer() rebuilds the remaining timer countdown from
vcpu->arch.expire, which is host-internal and is not part of the migrated
vCPU state. On the migration destination it is still 0, so for a one-shot
timer that has not expired yet the computed delta is 0 and
write_gcsr_timertick(0) injects the timer interrupt immediately instead of
after the remaining time.
The expired one-shot case (TVAL = -1) is already handled earlier. When
expire has not been set (i.e. on the migration destination), reload the
remaining countdown from the migrated TVAL. This covers both one-shot and
periodic timers. The regular preempt/resume path on the source, where
expire is valid, is unchanged.

A guest can write CSR_TCFG with the periodic bit set but a period value
of zero. When kvm_restore_timer() later enters the periodic branch,
period = cfg & CSR_TCFG_VAL evaluates to 0, causing delta % period to
trigger a division by zero and crash the host kernel.
Clamp the period to 1 to avoid the panic.
