KVM: LAPIC: Apply change to TDCR right away to the timer
The description in the Intel SDM of how the divide configuration register is used: "The APIC timer frequency will be the processor's bus clock or core crystal clock frequency divided by the value specified in the divide configuration register." Observation of baremetal shown that when the TDCR is change, the TMCCT does not change or make a big jump in value, but the rate at which it count down change. The patch update the emulation to APIC timer to so that a change to the divide configuration would be reflected in the value of the counter and when the next interrupt is triggered.
