kvmclock: set scheduler clock stable

If you try to enable NOHZ_FULL on a guest today, you'll get
the following error when the guest tries to deactivate the
scheduler tick:

 WARNING: CPU: 3 PID: 2182 at kernel/time/tick-sched.c:192 can_stop_full_tick+0xb9/0x290()

However, it turns out that kvmclock does provide a stable
sched_clock callback. So, let the scheduler know this which
in turn makes NOHZ_FULL work in the guest.
