[RFC PATCH] rcu: call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused unconditionally

[Sergey Senozhatsky]

Do not call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() only from the
stall branch (which requires an active grace period in the
first place), but instead handle PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED as
early as possible.

pvclock_touch_watchdogs() touches various watchdogs, which
have different timeouts, so the earlier we handle stopped
VCPU the better (lockup watchdog does the same).
