x86: if we cannot calibrate the TSC, we panic.



The current tsc_init() clears the TSC feature bit if the TSC khz
cannot be calculated, causing us to panic in
arch/x86/kernel/cpu/bugs.c check_config().  We should simply mark it
unstable.

Frankly, someone should take an axe to this code.  mark_tsc_unstable()
not only marks it unstable, but sets tsc_enabled to 0, which seems
redundant but is actually important here because means it won't be
used by sched_clock() either.  Perhaps a tristate enum "UNUSABLE,
UNSTABLE, OK" would be clearer, and separate mark_tsc_unstable() and
mark_tsc_broken() functions?
