KVM: x86: Add module parameter for lapic periodic timer limit

Browse Source 
Certain guests, specifically RTOSes, request faster periodic timers than
what we allow by default. Add a module parameter to adjust the limit for
non-standard setups. Also add a rate-limited warning in case the guest
requested more.
