[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] kvmclock: run KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL ioctl in vcpu thread

[Yongji Xie]

According to KVM API Documentation, we should only
run vcpu ioctls from the same thread that was used
to create the vcpu. This patch makes KVM_KVMCLOCK_CTRL
ioctl consistent with the Documentation.

No functional change.
