KVM: x86: hyper-v: Avoid writing to TSC page without an active vCPU
The following WARN is triggered from kvm_vm_ioctl_set_clock():

The WARN was introduced by commit
03c0304a86bc ("KVM: Warn if
mark_page_dirty() is called without an active vCPU") but the change seems
to be correct (unlike Hyper-V TSC page update mechanism). In fact, there's
no real need to actually write to guest memory to invalidate TSC page, this
can be done by the first vCPU which goes through kvm_guest_time_update().
