Some cleanups and reorg of paravirt code and headers:

- The first 2 patches should be not controversial at all, as they
  remove just some no longer needed #include and struct forward
  declarations.

- The 3rd patch is removing CONFIG_PARAVIRT_DEBUG, which IMO has
  no real value, as it just changes a crash to a BUG() (the stack
  trace will basically be the same). As the maintainer of the main
  paravirt user (Xen) I have never seen this crash/BUG() to happen.

- The 4th patch is just a movement of code.

- I don't know for what reason asm/paravirt_api_clock.h was added,
  as all archs supporting it do it exactly in the same way. Patch
  5 is removing it.

- Patches 6-12 are streamlining the paravirt clock interfaces by
  using a common implementation across architectures where possible
  and by moving the related code into common sched code, as this is
  where it should live.

- Patches 13+14 are more like RFC material: patch 13 is doing some
  preparation work to enable patch 14 to move all spinlock related
  paravirt functions into qspinlock.h. If this approach is accepted,
  I'd like to continue with this work by moving most (or all?)
  paravirt functions from paravirt.h into the headers where their
  native counterparts are defined. This is meant to keep the native
  and paravirt function definitions together in one place and
  hopefully to be able to reduce the include hell with paravirt.

Juergen Gross (14):
  x86/paravirt: remove not needed includes of paravirt.h
  x86/paravirt: remove some unneeded struct declarations
  x86/paravirt: remove PARAVIRT_DEBUG config option
  x86/paravirt: move thunk macros to paravirt_types.h
  paravirt: remove asm/paravirt_api_clock.h
  sched: move clock related paravirt code to kernel/sched
  arm/paravirt: use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
  arm64/paravirt: use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
  loongarch/paravirt: use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
  riscv/paravirt: use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
  x86/paravirt: use common code for paravirt_steal_clock()
  x86/paravirt: move paravirt_sched_clock() related code into tsc.c
  x86/paravirt: allow pv-calls outside paravirt.h
  x86/pvlocks: move paravirt spinlock functions into qspinlock.h
