KVM: x86: hyper-v: Don't auto-enable stimer on write from user-space
Don't apply the stimer's counter side effects when modifying its value from user-space, as this may trigger spurious interrupts. For example: - The stimer is configured in auto-enable mode. - The stimer's count is set and the timer enabled. - The stimer expires, an interrupt is injected. - The VM is live migrated. - The stimer config and count are deserialized, auto-enable is ON, the stimer is re-enabled. - The stimer expires right away, and injects an unwarranted interrupt.
