SubjectRe: [PATCH v2 1/4] KVM: LAPIC: Fix lapic timer mode transition

At the beginning of the secion is also:

A write to the LVT Timer Register that changes the timer mode disarms
the local APIC timer. The supported timer modes are given in Table
10-2. The three modes of the local APIC timer are mutually exclusive.

So we should also disarm when switching between one-shot and periodic.

apic_update_lvtt() already has logic to determine whether the timer mode
has changed and is the perfect place to clear APIC_TMICT.

Thanks.
