If we were migrated right after __getcpu, but before reading the
migration_count, we wouldn't notice that we read TSC of a different
VCPU, nor that KVM's bug made pvti invalid, as only migration_count
on source VCPU is increased.

Change vdso instead of updating migration_count on destination.

 Because it we'll get a complete rewrite, this series does not
 - remove the outdated 'TODO: We can put [...]' comment
 - use a proper encapsulation for the inner do-while loop
 - optimize the outer do-while loop
   (no need to re-read cpu id on version mismatch)
