KVM: LAPIC: Optimize timer latency further 

Advance lapic timer tries to hidden the hypervisor overhead between the
host emulated timer fires and the guest awares the timer is fired. However,
it just hidden the time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer ->
wait_lapic_expire, instead of the real position of vmentry which is
mentioned in the orignial commit d0659d946b ("KVM: x86: add option to
advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration"). There is 700+ cpu cycles between
the end of wait_lapic_expire and before world switch on my haswell desktop.

This patch tries to narrow the last gap(wait_lapic_expire -> world switch),
it takes the real overhead time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer
and before world switch into consideration when adaptively tuning timer
advancement. The patch can reduce 40% latency (~1600+ cycles to ~1000+ cycles
on a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing
busy waits.
