Guest should only trust data to be valid when version haven't changed 
before and after reads of steal time. Besides not changing, it has to 
be an even number. Hypervisor may write an odd number to version field 
to indicate that an update is in progress.

kvm_steal_clock() in guest has already done the read side, make write 
side in hypervisor more robust by following the above rule.
