[PATCH v2 34/38] x86/kvmclock: Get CPU base frequency from CPUID when it's available

[Sean Christopherson <seanjc@xxxxxxxxxx>]

If CPUID.0x16 is present and valid, use the CPU frequency provided by
CPUID instead of assuming that the virtual CPU runs at the same
frequency as TSC and/or kvmclock.  Back before constant TSCs were a
thing, treating the TSC and CPU frequencies as one and the same was
somewhat reasonable, but now it's nonsensical, especially if the
hypervisor explicitly enumerates the CPU frequency.
