Hi,
   I find PV domin hung, When we take those steps
         1, save PV domain
         2, change system time of PV domain back
         3, restore a PV domain
        or
         1, migrate a PV domain from Machine A to Machine B
         2, the system time of Machine B is slower than Machine A.
   the problem is wc_sec will be change when system-time chanaged in dom0 or restore in a slower-system-time machine, but when restoring, xen don't restore the wc_sec of share_info from xenstore and use native one. So guest os will hang.
this patch will work for this issue.

 Thanks
