pvclock data pointers of vCPUs >= HVC_BOOT_ARRAY_SIZE (64) are stored in
hvclock_mem wihch is initialized in kvmclock_init_mem().
Here're 3 scenarios in current implementation:
    - no-kvmclock is set in cmdline. kvm pv clock driver is disabled,
      no impact.
    - no-kvmclock-vsyscall is set in cmdline. kvmclock_init_mem() won't
      be called. No memory for storing pvclock data of vCPUs >= 64, vCPUs
      >= 64 can not be online or hotpluged.
    - tsc unstable. kvmclock_init_mem() won't be called. vCPUs >= 64 can
      not be online or hotpluged.
It's not reasonable that vCPUs hotplug have been impacted by last 2
scenarios. Hence move kvmclock_init_mem() to front, in case hvclock_mem
can not be initialized unexpectedly.

Fixes: 6a1cac56f41f9 (x86/kvm: Use __bss_decrypted attribute in shared variables)
