[PATCH] LoongArch: KVM: Reload one-shot TVAL on migration destination

From: Tao Cui <[email protected]>

kvm_restore_timer() rebuilds the remaining timer countdown from
vcpu->arch.expire, which is host-internal and is not part of the migrated
vCPU state. On the migration destination it is still 0, so for a one-shot
timer that has not expired yet the computed delta is 0 and
write_gcsr_timertick(0) injects the timer interrupt immediately instead of
after the remaining time. The guest observes a premature timer event right
after migration.

The expired one-shot case (TVAL = -1) is already handled earlier, so only
the non-expired one-shot path is affected. When expire has not been set
(i.e. on the destination), reload the remaining countdown from the
migrated TVAL. The regular preempt/resume path on the source, where
expire is valid, is unchanged.
