x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency
KVM clock is initialized later compared to other hypervisor clocks because
it has a dependency on the memblock allocator.
Bring it in line with other hypervisors by using memory from the BSS
instead of allocating it.
The benefits:
- Remove ifdef from common code
- Earlier availability of the clock
- Remove dependency on memblock, and reduce code
The downside:
- Static allocation of the per cpu data structures sized NR_CPUS * 64byte
Will be addressed in follow up patches.
