[PATCH 1/1][SRU][Trusty/Utopic/Vivid/Wily] KVM: x86: move steal time initialization to vcpu entry time

BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1494350

As reported at https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1494350,
it is possible to have vcpu->arch.st.last_steal initialized
from a thread other than vcpu thread, say the iothread, via
KVM_SET_MSRS.

Which can cause an overflow later (when subtracting from vcpu threads
sched_info.run_delay).

To avoid that, move steal time accumulation to vcpu entry time,
before copying steal time data to guest.
