If ITSC is not available on CPU (e.g if running nested as PV shim)
then X86_FEATURE_NONSTOP_TSC is not advertised in certain cases, i.e.
all AMD and some old Intel processors. In which case TSC would need to
be restored on CPU from platform time by Xen upon exiting C-states.
As platform time might be behind the last TSC stamp recorded for the
current CPU, invariant of TSC stamp being always behind local TSC counter
is violated. This has an effect of get_s_time() going negative resulting
in eventual system hang or crash.
Fix this issue by updating local TSC stamp along with TSC counter write.
