If the CPU pipeline supports RDTSCP or RDPID, a guest can observe the value in
MSR_TSC_AUX, irrespective of whether the relevant CPUID features are
advertised/hidden.
At the moment, paravirt_ctxt_switch_to() only writes to MSR_TSC_AUX if
TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP mode is enabled, but this is not the default mode.
Therefore, default PV guests can read the value from a previously scheduled
HVM vcpu, or TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP-enabled PV guest.
Alter the PV path to always write to MSR_TSC_AUX, using 0 in the common case.
To amortise overhead cost, introduce wrmsr_tsc_aux() which performs a lazy
update of the MSR, and use this function consistently across the codebase.
