x86: KVM guest: use paravirt function to calculate cpu khz

We're currently facing timing problems in guests that do
calibration under heavy load, and then the load vanishes.
This means we'll have a much lower lpj than we actually should,
and delays end up taking less time than they should, which is a
nasty bug.

Solution is to pass on the lpj value from host to guest, and have it
preset.
