x86: do not enable TSC notifier if we don't need it
Impact: crash on non-TSC-equipped CPUs Don't enable the TSC notifier if we *either*: 1. don't have a CPU, or 2. have a CPU with constant TSC. In either of those cases, the notifier is either damaging (1) or useless(2). From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: H. Peter Anvin <hpa@zytor.com>
