x86: disable TSC for sched_clock() when calibration failed
upstream commit: 74dc51a3de06aa516e3b9fdc4017b2aeb38bf44b When the TSC calibration fails then TSC is still used in sched_clock(). Disable it completely in that case. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Chris Wright <chrisw@sous-sol.org>
