[ Upstream commit b4d16ab58c41ff0125822464bdff074cebd0fe47 ]
In the recent commit 8b78fdb045de ("powerpc/time: Use
clockevents_register_device(), fixing an issue with large
decrementer") we changed the way we initialise the decrementer
clockevent(s).
We no longer initialise the mult & shift values of
decrementer_clockevent itself.
This has the effect of breaking PR KVM, because it uses those values
in kvmppc_emulate_dec(). The symptom is guest kernels spin forever
mid-way through boot.
For now fix it by assigning back to decrementer_clockevent the mult
and shift values.
Fixes: 8b78fdb045de ("powerpc/time: Use clockevents_register_device(), fixing
an issue with large decrementer")
