[RFC PATCH v3 18/59] KVM: x86: Add flag to mark TSC as immutable (for TDX)

From: Sean Christopherson <sean.j.christopherson@intel.com>

The TSC for TDX1 guests is fixed at TD creation time. Add tsc_immutable
to reflect that the TSC of the guest cannot be changed in any way, and
use it to short circuit all paths that lead to one of the myriad TSC
adjustment flows.
