[RFC PATCH] x86/tsc: use topology_max_packages() in tsc watchdog check

[Feng Tang <feng.tang@intel.com>]

Commit b50db7095fe0 ("x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC
on qualified platorms") was introduced to solve problem that
sometimes TSC clocksource is wrongly judged as unstable by watchdog
like 'jiffies', HPET, etc.

In it, the hardware socket number is a key factor for judging
whether to disable the watchdog for TSC, and 'nr_online_nodes' was
chosen as an estimation due to it is needed in early boot phase
before registering 'tsc-early' clocksource, where all none-boot
CPUs are not brought up yet.

In recent patch review, Dave Hansen pointed out there are many
cases that 'nr_online_nodes' could have issue, like:
* numa emulation (numa=fake=4 etc.)
* numa=off
* platforms with CPU+DRAM nodes, CPU-less HBM nodes, CPU-less
  persistent memory nodes.

Peter Zijlstra suggested to use logical package ids, but it is
only usable after smp_init() and all CPUs are initialized.

One solution is to skip the watchdog for 'tsc-early' clocksource,
and move the check after smp_init(), while before 'tsc'
clocksoure is registered, where topology_max_packages() could
be used as a much more accurate socket number.
