It looks like the TSC_MODE_DEFAULT, TSC_MODE_ALWAYS_EMULATE, and
TSC_MODE_PVRDTSCP already set tsc_khz.

Only TSC_MODE_NEVER_EMULATE hadn't set it (but that
piece of code has some continuation from TSC_MODE_DEFAULT).

And we need this otherwise the CPU tsc offset has bogus data?

Anyway if this is the way to go, you can probably delete:

1968         d->arch.tsc_khz = cpu_khz;
