x86/vpt: fully init timers before putting onto list

With pt_vcpu_lock() no longer acquiring the pt_migrate lock, parties
iterating the list and acting on the timers of the list entries will no
longer be kept from entering their loops by create_periodic_time()'s
holding of that lock. Therefore at least init_timer() needs calling
ahead of list insertion, but keep this and set_timer() together.
