Subject: x86/hyper-v: Enable PIT shutdown quirk

From: Michael Kelley <mikelley at microsoft.com>

commit 1de72c706488b7be664a601cf3843bd01e327e58 upstream.

Hyper-V emulation of the PIT has a quirk such that the normal PIT shutdown
path doesn't work, because clearing the counter register restarts the
timer.

Disable the counter clearing on PIT shutdown.
