Commit ee66e453db13d (KVM: lapic: Busy wait for timer to expire when 
using hv_timer) tries to set ktime->expired_tscdeadline by checking 
ktime->hv_timer_in_use since lapic timer oneshot/periodic modes which 
are emulated by vmx preemption timer also get advanced, they leverage 
the same vmx preemption timer logic with tsc-deadline mode. However, 
ktime->hv_timer_in_use is cleared before apic_timer_expired() handling, 
let's delay this clearing in preemption-disabled region.

Well that's embarassing.  I suspect/hope I tested the case where start_hv_timer()
detects the timer already expired.  On the plus side, start_hv_timer() calls
cancel_hv_timer() after apic_timer_expired(), so there are unlikely to be hidden
side effects (and cancel_hv_timer() is tiny).
