x86: xen: Sync the CMOS RTC as well as the Xen wallclock
Adjustments to Xen's persistent clock via update_persistent_clock() don't actually persist, as the Xen wallclock is a software only clock and modifications to it do not modify the underlying CMOS RTC. The x86_platform.set_wallclock hook is there to keep the hardware RTC synchronized. On a guest this is pointless. On Dom0 we can use the native implementaion which actually updates the hardware RTC, but we still need to keep the software emulation of RTC for the guests up to date. The subscription to the pvclock_notifier allows us to emulate this easily. The notifier is called at every tick and when the clock was set. Right now we only use that notifier when the clock was set, but due to the fact that it is called periodically from the timekeeping update code, we can utilize it to emulate the NTP driven drift compensation of update_persistant_clock() for the Xen wall (software) clock. Add a 11 minutes periodic update to the pvclock_gtod notifier callback to achieve that. The static variable 'next' which maintains that 11 minutes update cycle is protected by the core code serialization so there is no need to add a Xen specific serialization mechanism.
