What's the point of this function if there's a global
paravirt_using_native_sched_clock variable now?

Looking how the bit of information whether native_sched_clock is used,
is needed in tsc.c, it probably would be cleaner if you add a

set_sched_clock_native(void);

or so, to tsc.c instead and call that here and make that long var name a
a shorter and static one in tsc.c instead.

Hmm?
