This shouldn't be necessary, (and we can definitely do it without error
checking later)

 kvm_arch_vcpu_create
   (vmx|svm)_create_vcpu
     kvm_vcpu_init
       kvm_arch_vcpu_init
         kvm_set_tsc_khz

sets vcpu->arch.tsc_scaling_ratio to something reasonable and SVM didn't
overwrite that value.  (kvm_set_tsc_khz() only doesn't set the ration if
this_tsc_khz == 0, which we could extend to be extra safe.)
