There is a logic to handle first-time write when updating the 
pvclock/wall clock/steal time shared memory pages each time, 
actually we should do this logic during pv stuffs setup if we 
suspect the version-field can't be guranteed to be initialized 
to an even number by the guest. This patch fixes it by handling 
the first-time write of pvclock/steal time during setup since 
the update is frequent, and keeping the wall clock since it is 
rare updating.
