x86/tsc: Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag
The X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flag in Linux kernel implies both reliable
(at runtime) and trustable (at calibration). But reliable running and
trustable calibration independent of each other.
Add a new flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ, which denotes that the frequency
is known (via MSR/CPUID). This flag is only meant to skip the long term
calibration on systems which have a known frequency.
Add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ to the skip the delayed calibration and
leave X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE in place.
After converting the existing users of X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE to use
either both flags or just X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ we can seperate the
functionality.
