Linux as a guest will prevent to program the next event to the clock event 
device when the event is in the past. However, it is not guaranteed by all 
the guests, the guest like kvm-unit-tests/apic.flat will write current tsc 
value visible in guest to MSR_IA32_TSCDEADLINE, lapic timer which is emulated 
by vmx preemption timer will program the absolute target tsc value to vmcs 
preemption timer field w/ delta == 0, then plays a vmentry and an upcoming 
vmx preemption timer fire vmexit dance, the lapic timer injection is delayed 
for this duration. Actually the lapic timer which is emulated by hrtimer can 
handle this correctly.

This patch fixes it by firing the lapic timer and injecting a timer interrupt 
immediately during the next vmentry if guest programs an expired timer to 
the emulated timer device.

Ouch! I just sent a wrong version.
