Commit d6ad3e286d2c ("softlockup: Add sched_clock_tick() to avoid kernel warning on kgdb resume") introduced touch_softlockup_watchdog_sync().
[...]
Make the code more straightforward:
Always call kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() at the very beginning to handle PVCLOCK_GUEST_STOPPED. It touches the watchdog when the quest did sleep.
Handle the situation when the watchdog has been touched (SOFTLOCKUP_DELAY_REPORT is set).
Call sched_clock_tick() when touch_*sync() variant was used. It makes sure that the timestamp will be up to date even when it has been touched in atomic context or quest did sleep.
As a result, kvm_check_and_clear_guest_paused() is called on a single location. And the right timestamp is always set when returning from the timer callback.

Please, remove this patch from the stable backport. It might cause false softlockup reports, see
Oh, I didn't know about the stable backport. Thank you for taking care of it.
