Fix regression introduced by

commit cf7a63ef4e02 ("x86/tsc: Calibrate tsc only once")

as it changed setup_arch() so that it now calls tsc_early_init() before
acpi_boot_table_init() which is a necessary step, in the case of UV
systems, to inform tsc_sanitize_first_cpu() that we're on a platform
with async TSC resets as documented in

commit 341102c3ef29 ("x86/tsc: Add option that TSC on Socket 0 being non-zero is valid")

Fix by skipping tsc_early_init() on UV systems and let TSC initialization
take place later in tsc_init().

tsc_early_init() has already a check which makes it not invoke the
calibration code, so please put your uv check into that.

Will do, thanks.
