x86/tsc_msr: Fix rdmsr(MSR_PLATFORM_INFO) unsafe warning in KVM guest
After this commit:
fc273eeef314 ("x86/tsc_msr: Extend to include Intel Core Architecture")
The following unsafe MSR reading warning triggers:
WARNING: CPU: 0 PID: 0 at arch/x86/mm/extable.c:50 ex_handler_rdmsr_unsafe+0x6a/0x70
unchecked MSR access error: RDMSR from 0xce

As Radim pointed out before:
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO: Intel changes it from family to family and there is
| no obvious overlap or default. If we picked 0 (any other fixed value),
| then the guest would have to know that 0 doesn't mean that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO returned 0, but that KVM doesn't emulate this MSR and
| the value cannot be used. This is very similar to handling a #GP in the
| guest, but also has a disadvantage, because KVM cannot say that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is 0. Simple emulation is not possible.
Fix it by using rdmsr_safe(MSR_PLATFORM_INFO) in KVM guest to
not trigger a #GP, then tsc will be calibrated by a fallback
method: PIT, HPET etc.
