x86/platform: Fix Geode LX timekeeping in the generic x86 build
commit 03da3ff1 upstream. In 2007, commit 07190a08 ("Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable") bypassed verification of the TSC on Geode LX. However, this code (now in the check_system_tsc_reliable() function in arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c) was only present if CONFIG_MGEODE_LX was set. OpenWRT has recently started building its generic Geode target for Geode GX, not LX, to include support for additional platforms. This broke the timekeeping on LX-based devices, because the TSC wasn't marked as reliable: https://dev.openwrt.org/ticket/20531 By adding a runtime check on is_geode_lx(), we can also include the fix if CONFIG_MGEODEGX1 or CONFIG_X86_GENERIC are set, thus fixing the problem.
