x86/hyperv: Read TSC frequency from a synthetic MSR
It was found that SMI_TRESHOLD of 50000 is not enough for Hyper-V guests in nested environment and falling back to counting jiffies is not an option for Gen2 guests as they don't have PIT. As Hyper-V provides TSC frequency in a synthetic MSR we can just use this information instead of doing a error prone calibration.
