KVM: x86: Make math work for other scales
The math in kvm_get_time_scale relies on the fact that NSEC_PER_SEC < 2^32. To use the same function to compute arbitrary time scales, we must extend the first reduction step to shrink the base rate to a 32-bit value, and possibly reduce the scaled rate into a 32-bit as well. Note we must take care to avoid an arithmetic overflow when scaling up the tps32 value (this could not happen with the fixed scaled value of NSEC_PER_SEC, but can happen with scaled rates above 2^31.
