[PATCH v2] hv_utils: return error if host timesysnc update is stale

[Vineeth Pillai <viremana@linux.microsoft.com>]

If for any reason, host timesync messages were not processed by
the guest, hv_ptp_gettime() returns a stale value and the
caller (clock_gettime, PTP ioctl etc) has no means to know this
now. Return an error so that the caller knows about this.

 v2:
    - Fix warnings reported by Kernel test robot <lkp@intel.com>
    - s/pr_warn/pr_warn_once/
