hyperv_timer.c exports hyperv_cs, which is used by stimers and the
timesync mechanism. However, the clocksource dependency is not
needed: these mechanisms only depend on the partition reference
counter (which can be read via a MSR or via the TSC Reference Page).
Introduce the (function) pointer hv_read_reference_counter, as an
embodiment of the partition reference counter read, and export it
in place of the hyperv_cs pointer. The latter can be removed.
This should clarify that there's no relationship between Hyper-V
stimers & timesync and the Linux clocksource abstractions. No
functional or semantic change.
