[SRU][F/aws][PATCH v3 4/6] x86/kvm: Disable kvmclock on all CPUs on shutdown

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1920944

Currenly, we disable kvmclock from machine_shutdown() hook and this
only happens for boot CPU. We need to disable it for all CPUs to
guard against memory corruption e.g. on restore from hibernate.

Note, writing '0' to kvmclock MSR doesn't clear memory location, it
just prevents hypervisor from updating the location so for the short
while after write and while CPU is still alive, the clock remains usable
and correct so we don't need to switch to some other clocksource.
