Before this patch, since the ".rating" of hyper_cs_msr is 250 which is
smaller than the TSC clocksource rating, the TSC clocksource is better.
After this patch, in the case where HV_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC_AVAILABLE bit
is 0, we make hyperv_cs_msr better than the TSC clocksource (and we
don't lower the rating of hyperv_cs_msr if TSC_INVARIANT is not
offered), right? Could you explain why we need the change? Or maybe I'm
missing something?
