[PATCH v5 1/4] KVM: LAPIC: Make lapic timer unpinned

[Wanpeng Li]

From: Wanpeng Li <wanpengli@xxxxxxxxxxx>

Commit 61abdbe0bcc2 ("kvm: x86: make lapic hrtimer pinned") pinned the 
lapic timer to avoid to wait until the next kvm exit for the guest to 
see KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER set. There is another solution to give a kick 
after setting the KVM_REQ_PENDING_TIMER bit, make lapic timer unpinned 
will be used in follow up patches.
