[PATCH v10 1/7] x86/tsc: remove tsc_disabled flag

From: Pavel Tatashin
Date: Fri Feb 09 2018 - 16:14:43 EST


tsc_disabled is set when notsc is passed as kernel parameter. The reason we
have notsc is to avoid timing problems on multi-socket systems. We already
have a mechanism, however, to detect and resolve these issues by invoking
tsc unstable path. Thus, make notsc to behave the same as tsc=unstable.
