[PATCH v12 13/19] x86/sev: Mark Secure TSC as reliable clocksource

[Nikunj A Dadhania <nikunj@amd.com>]

In SNP guest environment with Secure TSC enabled, unlike other clock
sources (such as HPET, ACPI timer, APIC, etc.), the RDTSC instruction is
handled without causing a VM exit, resulting in minimal overhead and
jitters. Hence, mark Secure TSC as the only reliable clock source,
bypassing unstable calibration.
