x86/hvm: fix saved pmtimer and hpet values

The ACPI PM timer is sometimes broken on live migration.
Since vcpu->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_time is always zero in other than
"delay for missed ticks mode". Even in "delay for missed ticks mode",
vcpu's guest_time field is not valid (i.e. zero) when
the state of vcpu is "blocked". (see pt_save_timer function)

The original author (Tim Deegan) of pmtimer_save() must have intended
that it saves the last scheduled time of the vcpu. Unfortunately it was
already implied this bug. FYI, there is no other timer mode than
"delay for missed ticks mode" then.

For consistency with HPET, pmtimer_save() should refer hvm_get_guest_time()
to update the counter as well as hpet_save() does.

Without this patch, the clock of windows server 2012R2 without HPET
might leap forward several minutes on live migration.

Retain use of ->arch.hvm_vcpu.guest_time when non-zero. Do the inverse
adjustment for vHPET.
