Although we never made such commitment clear (well, to the best
of my knowledge), some people expect that two savevm issued in sequence
in a stopped machine will yield the same results. This is not a crazy
requirement, since we don't expect a stopped machine to be updating its state,
for any device.

With kvmclock, this is not the case, since the .pre_save hook will issue an
ioctl to the host to acquire a timestamp, which is always changing.

This patch moves the value acquisition to vm state change handlers, conditional
on not being run. This could mean mean our get clock ioctl is issued more times,
but this should be fine since vm_stop is not a hot path.

When we do migrate, we'll transfer that value along.
