[PATCH] ACPI: idle: fix init-time TSC check regression

[Len Brown]

From: Len Brown <len.brown@xxxxxxxxx>

A previous 2.6.30 patch, a71e4917dc0ebbcb5a0ecb7ca3486643c1c9a6e2,
(ACPI: idle: mark_tsc_unstable() at init-time, not run-time)
erroneously disabled the TSC on systems that did not actually
have valid deep C-states.

Move the check after the deep-C-states are validated,
via new helper, tsc_check_state(), hich replaces tsc_halts_in_c().

Thomas,
I decided to use a tsc-specific helper
rather than piggyback on acpi_timer_check_state(),
since that is not general, but rather LAPIC timer specific.
(and I'll re-name that to reflect its specific function
 in a cosmetic follow-up patch)
