Introduce a per-vm variable initial_tsc_khz to hold the default tsc_khz
for kvm_arch_vcpu_create().
This field is going to be used by TDX since TSC frequency for TD guest
is configured at TD VM initialization phase.

So this means disabling TSC frequency scaling on TDX.
Would it make sense
to delay VM creation to a separate ioctl, similar to KVM_ARM_VCPU_FINALIZE
(KVM_VM_FINALIZE)?
There's an equivalent of that in the next mega-patch, the KVM_TDX_INIT_VM sub-ioctl
of KVM_MEMORY_ENCRYPT_OP. The TSC frequency for the guest gets provided at that
time.
