We were using the same hrtimer for emulating the physical timer and for
making sure a blocking VCPU thread would be eventually woken up.  That
worked fine in the previous arch timer design, but as we are about to
actually use the soft timer expire function for the physical timer
emulation, change the logic to use a dedicated hrtimer.

This has the added benefit of not having to cancel any work in the sync
path, which in turn allows us to run the flush and sync with IRQs
disabled.
