Remove from guest code the handling of task migration during a

pvclock read; instead use the correct protocol in KVM.
 
 This removes the need for task migration notifiers in core
 scheduler code.

 "Remove from guest code the handling of task migration during a pvclock
  read; instead use the correct protocol in KVM.

  This removes the need for task migration notifiers in core scheduler
  code"

[ The scheduler people really hated the migration notifiers, so this was
  kind of required  - Linus ]
