  By not honoring the 'stimer->config.enable' state during stimer
deserialization we might introduce spurious timer interrupts. For
example through the following events:
 - The stimer is configured in auto-enable mode.
 - The stimer's count is set and the timer enabled.
 - The stimer expires, an interrupt is injected.
 - We live migrate the VM.
 - The stimer config and count are deserialized, auto-enable is ON, the
   stimer is re-enabled.
 - The stimer expires right away, and injects an unwarranted interrupt.

So let's not change the stimer's enable state if the MSR write comes
from user-space.

Changes since v1:
 - Cover all 'stimer->config.enable' updates.
