[PATCH v8 09/17] KVM: x86: Fall back to non-master-clock if clockread fails in get_kvmclock()

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@google.com>]

From: David Woodhouse <dwmw@amazon.co.uk>

When computing kvmclock and it's currently in master-clock mode, fall back
to the non-master-clock path if the clock read fails, e.g. if the kernel's
clocksource transitioning away from TSC but ka->use_master_clock hasn't
been updated yet.

The rdtsc() fallback was added (well, kept) in commit c68dc1b577ea ("KVM:
x86: Report host tsc and realtime values in KVM_GET_CLOCK") purely to avoid
uninitialized variables and compilation problems on 32-bit kernels (already
addressed).  In hindsight, keeping the rdtsc() was a hack and a mistake.
