[PATCH] KVM: remove useless write to vcpu->hv_clock.tsc_timestamp

From: Paolo Bonzini
Date: Wed Jan 15 2014 - 12:08:41 EST


After the previous patch from Marcelo, the comment before this write
became obsolete. In fact, the write is unnecessary. The calls to
kvm_write_tsc ultimately result in a master clock update as soon as
all TSCs agree and the master clock is re-enabled. This master
clock update will rewrite tsc_timestamp.

So, together with the comment, delete the dead write too.
