These Hyper-V changes are problematic as we want to keep hyperv_timer.c
architecture independent.  While only the code for x86/x64 is currently
accepted upstream, code for ARM64 support is in progress.   So we need
to use hv_setup_sched_clock() in hyperv_timer.c, and have the per-arch
implementation in mshyperv.h.
