[PATCH v3] x86/tsc: add X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ flag

[Bin Gao <bin.gao@linux.intel.com>]

The X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE flag in Linux kernel implies both reliable
(at runtime) and trustable (at calibration). But reliable running and
trustable calibration are logically irrelevant. Per Thomas Gleixner's
suggestion we would like to split this flag into two separate flags:
X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE - running reliably
X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ - frequency is known (no calibration required)
These two flags allow Linux kernel to act differently based on
processor/SoC's capability, i.e. no watchdog on TSC if TSC is reliable,
and no calibration if TSC frequency is known.

Current Linux kernel already gurantees calibration is skipped for
processors that can report TSC frequency by CPUID or MSR. However, the
delayed calibration is still not skipped for these CPUID/MSR capable
processors. The new flag X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ added by this patch
will gurantee the delayed calibration is skipped.
