x86: TSC calibration update

cpu_khz and tsc_khz initialization can be unreliable and expensive. They are initialized in tsc_init()/native_calibrate_tsc(), which prints:

pr_info("Detected %lu.%03lu MHz processor\n", cpu_khz...)

native_calibrate_cpu() first tries quick_pit_calibrate(), which can take over 50.0M cycles to succeed,
or as few as 2.4M cycles to fail.

On failure, pit_calibrate_tsc() is attempted, which can succeed in as few as 20M cycles, but may consume over 240M cycles before it fails.

By comparison, on many processors, tsc frequency can be discovered by table and MSR or CPUID in under 0.002M cycles.

Subsequently tsc_refine_calibration_work() checks our work, but it takes under 0.004M cycles.

pr_info("Refined TSC clocksource calibration: %lu.%03lu MHz\n", tsc_khz...)

Finally, CPU and TSC frequency are not guaranteed to be identical, and this series allows cpu_khz and tsc_khz to differ within a few percent.
