KVM: s390: factor out reading of the guest TOD clock
Let's factor this out and always use get_tod_clock_fast() when
reading the guest TOD.
STORE CLOCK FAST does not do serialization and, therefore, might
result in some fuzziness between different processors in a way
that subsequent calls on different CPUs might have time stamps that
are earlier. This semantics is fine though for all KVM use cases.
To make it obvious that the new function has STORE CLOCK FAST
semantics we name it kvm_s390_get_tod_clock_fast.
With this patch, we only have a handful of places were we
have to care about STP sync (using preempt_disable() logic).
