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?
