x86: if we cannot calibrate the TSC, we panic.
upstream commit: 3c2047cd32b1a8c782d7efab72707e7daa251625
The current tsc_init() clears the TSC feature bit if the TSC khz
cannot be calculated, causing us to panic in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c check_config(). We should simply mark it
unstable.
Frankly, someone should take an axe to this code. mark_tsc_unstable()
not only marks it unstable, but sets tsc_enabled to 0, which seems
redundant but is actually important here because means it won't be
used by sched_clock() either. Perhaps a tristate enum "UNUSABLE,
UNSTABLE, OK" would be clearer, and separate mark_tsc_unstable() and
mark_tsc_broken() functions?
