When the system clocksource is kvmclock or Hyper-V (not the TSC directly),
vmclock_get_crosststamp() falls through to a separate get_cycles() call,
losing the atomic pairing between the system time snapshot and the TSC
reading.
Now that ktime_get_snapshot_id() populates hw_cycles with the underlying
TSC value for derived clocksources, use it when available. This gives a
perfect (system_time, tsc) pairing for the device time calculation.
The SUPPORT_KVMCLOCK wrapper is still needed to convert the TSC into
kvmclock nanoseconds for system_counter->cycles, because otherwise
get_device_system_crosststamp() can't interpret the result against the
system clock.
