[PATCH v3 00/21] KVM: x86: Fix nested TSC scaling edge cases

[Sean Christopherson]

Amirmohammad's fix to saturate L2's TSC frequency when stacking scale up/down
ratios across L1+L2 yields a final scaling ratio that can't be plugged into
hardware.  The actual fix is functionally the same as v2, but I rewrote the
comments and changelog to try and make them more approachable to KVM developers
(AI has a habit of generating extremely verbose, "mathy" descriptions of bugs
and fixes).

Patch 2 fixes a flaw pointed out by Sashiko.

Patch 3 fixes an off-by-one issue in KVM_SET_TSC_KHZ that is a complete
non-issue in practice, but confused the heck out of me and made writing the
testcases unnecessarily annoying.

The rest of the pile extends and cleans up the nested TSC scaling test to
validate the saturation fixes, and to test all four combinations of scaling
L1+L2 up+down (the existing code testing only L1 down, L2 up).
