[patch 25/50] x86: fix setup of cyc2ns in tsc_64.c

-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.
---------------------

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: b6db80ee1331e7beaeb91b4b3d946dd16c72e388

When the TSC is calibrated against the PIT due to the nonavailability
of PMTIMER/HPET or due to SMI interference then the setup of the per
CPU cyc2ns variables is skipped. This is unlikely to happen but it
would definitely render sched_clock() unusable.

This was introduced with commit 53d517cdbaac704352b3d0c10fecb99e0b54572e

x86: scale cyc_2_nsec according to CPU frequency

Update the per CPU cyc2ns variables in all exit pathes of tsc_calibrate.
