When the QEMU_CLOCK_HOST clock was added, computation of its
deadline was added to qemu_next_deadline, which is correct but
incomplete.

I noticed this while trying to make sense of the rules whereby
qemu_next_deadline_dyntick is computed, which miss QEMU_CLOCK_HOST
when use_icount is true.  Looking at the history showed this to
be just an oversight, as the next patch shows clearly.

This patch inlines qemu_next_deadline into qemu_next_deadline_dyntick,
and corrects the logic so that only QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL is skipped for
use_icount == true.

This computation handled the fact that the value is returned in ns, and
we want us.

And this doesn't appear anymore after your changes.

Here we multiply because the value is returned in ms and we want us.

IMHO we should just use qemu_get_clock_ns() instead, replace
MIN_TIMER_REARM_US by MIN_TIMER_REARM_NS, and return a ns value
instead. Of course dynticks_rearm_timer() has to be adjusted, but it
should not be problematic given it uses ns internally.

Otherwise good catch, the issue is real, and the way to fix it looks
correct.
