Subject: [PATCH] ptp: Fix ptp_kvm_getcrosststamp issue for x86 ptp_kvm

hv_clock is preallocated to have only HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE (64) elements; if the PTP_SYS_OFFSET_PRECISE ioctl is executed on vCPUs whose index is 64 of higher, retrieving the struct pvclock_vcpu_time_info pointer with "src = &hv_clock[cpu].pvti" will result in an out-of-bounds access and a wild pointer. Change it to "this_cpu_pvti()" which is guaranteed to be valid.
