Bad indentation.

Redoing the tuning seems odd. Doubt it will matter, but it feels weird to
have to retune the advancement just because the guest toggled between modes.

Rather than clear timer_advance_ns, can we simply move the check against
apic->lapic_timer.expired_tscdeadline much earlier? I think that would
solve this performance hiccup, and IMO would be a logical change in any
case. E.g. with some refactoring to avoid more duplication between VMX and
SVM:
