(commit 80dcfb8532ae76343109a48f12ba8ca1c505c179)
Upon migration, the code use a timer based on vm_clock for 1ns
in the future from post_load to do the event send in case host_connected
differs between migration source and target.

However, it's not guaranteed that the apic is ready to inject irqs into
the guest, and the irq line remained high, resulting in any future interrupts
going unnoticed by the guest as well.

That's because 1) the migration coroutine is not blocked when it get EAGAIN
while reading QEMUFile. 2) The vm_clock is enabled default currently, it doesn't
rely on the calling of vm_start(), that means vm_clock timers can run before
VCPUs are running.

So, let's set the vm_clock disabled default, keep the initial intention of
design for vm_clock timers.

Meanwhile, change the test-aio usecase, using QEMU_CLOCK_REALTIME instead of
QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL as the block code does.

Good fix!  I'll queue it for 2.7.
