x86/kvmclock: Remove memblock dependency



KVM clock is initialized later compared to other hypervisor clocks because
it has a dependency on the memblock allocator.

Bring it in line with other hypervisors by using memory from the BSS
instead of allocating it.

The benefits:

  - Remove ifdef from common code
  - Earlier availability of the clock
  - Remove dependency on memblock, and reduce code

The downside:

  - Static allocation of the per cpu data structures sized NR_CPUS * 64byte
    Will be addressed in follow up patches.
