On real time configuration with the null scheduler, we shouldn't
interrupt the guest execution unless strictly necessary: the guest could
be a real time guest (e.g. FreeRTOS) and interrupting its execution
could lead to a missed deadline.
The principal source of interruptions is IPIs. Remove the unnecessary
IPI on all physical CPUs to sync the TSC when the TSC is known to be
reliable.
