Advance lapic timer tries to hidden the hypervisor overhead between the 
host emulated timer fires and the guest awares the timer is fired. However, 
it just hidden the time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer -> 
wait_lapic_expire, instead of the real position of vmentry which is 
mentioned in the orignial commit d0659d946be0 ("KVM: x86: add option to 
advance tscdeadline hrtimer expiration"). There is 700+ cpu cycles between 
the end of wait_lapic_expire and before world switch on my haswell desktop.

This patch tries to narrow the last gap(wait_lapic_expire -> world switch), 
it takes the real overhead time between apic_timer_fn/handle_preemption_timer
and before world switch into consideration when adaptively tuning timer 
advancement. The patch can reduce 40% latency (~1600+ cycles to ~1000+ cycles 
on a haswell desktop) for kvm-unit-tests/tscdeadline_latency when testing 
busy waits.
