timers: fix stop/cont with -icount
Stop/cont commands are broken with -icount due to a deadlock. The
real problem is that the computation of timers_state.cpu_ticks_offset
makes no sense with -icount enabled: we set it to an icount clock value
in cpu_disable_ticks, and subtract a TSC (or similar, whatever
cpu_get_real_ticks happens to return) value in cpu_enable_ticks.
The fix is simple. timers_state.cpu_ticks_offset is only used
together with cpu_get_real_ticks, so we can use cpu_get_real_ticks
in cpu_disable_ticks. There is no need to update cpu_ticks_prev
at the time cpu_disable_ticks is called; instead, we can do it
the next time cpu_get_ticks is called.
The change to cpu_disable_ticks is the important part of the patch.
The rest modifies the code to always check timers_state.cpu_ticks_prev,
even when the ticks are not advancing (i.e. the VM is stopped). It also
makes a similar change to cpu_get_clock_locked, so that the code remains
similar for cpu_get_ticks and cpu_get_clock_locked.
