[PATCH] kvm,x86: Use the refined tsc rate for the guest tsc.

[Suleiman Souhlal]

Prior to this change, the initial tsc rate used by kvm would be
the unrefined rate, instead of the refined rate that is derived
later at boot and used for timekeeping. This can cause time to
advance at different rates between the host and the guest.
