KVM: x86: avoid underflow when scaling TSC frequency
In function kvm_guest_time_update(), __scale_tsc() is used to calculate
a TSC *frequency* rather than a TSC value. With low-enough ratios,
a TSC value that is less than 1 would underflow to 0 and to an infinite
while loop in kvm_get_time_scale():
kvm_guest_time_update(struct kvm_vcpu *v)
if (kvm_caps.has_tsc_control)
tgt_tsc_khz = kvm_scale_tsc(tgt_tsc_khz,
v->arch.l1_tsc_scaling_ratio);
__scale_tsc(u64 ratio, u64 tsc)
ratio=122380531, tsc=2299998, N=48
ratio*tsc >> N = 0.999... -> 0
Later in the function:

This can really happen only when fuzzing, since the TSC frequency
would have to be nonsensically low.
