Meh, I might have to put those back. They were originally introduced to
cope with NTP frequency skew which is no longer a problem, but we now
know there's a systemic skew even between the host CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
and the KVM clock as calculated via the guest's TSC.

So at least when !ka->use_master_clock I think the forced resync does
need to happen.
