[patch -rt 2/2] KVM: lapic: mark LAPIC timer handler as irqsafe

[Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: kvm-lapic-irqsafe --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 2813 bytes --]

Since lapic timer handler only wakes up a simple waitqueue,
it can be executed from hardirq context.

Also handle the case where hrtimer_start_expires fails due to -ETIME,
by injecting the interrupt to the guest immediately.

Reduces average cyclictest latency by 3us.
