[patch 27/50] x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable

[Chris Wright]

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

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

upstream commit: 9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910

tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()
decision when to use TSC understandable.

Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.
