Pavel Tatashin e2a9ca29b5 x86/tsc: Initialize cyc2ns when tsc frequency is determined
cyc2ns converts tsc to nanoseconds, and it is handled in a per-cpu data
structure.

Currently, the setup code for c2ns data for every possible CPU goes through
the same sequence of calculations as for the boot CPU, but is based on the
same tsc frequency as the boot CPU, and thus this is not necessary.

Initialize the boot cpu when tsc frequency is determined. Copy the
calculated data from the boot CPU to the other CPUs in tsc_init().

In addition do the following:

 - Remove unnecessary zeroing of c2ns data by removing cyc2ns_data_init()

 - Split set_cyc2ns_scale() into two functions, so set_cyc2ns_scale() can be
   called when system is up, and wraps around __set_cyc2ns_scale() that can
   be called directly when system is booting but avoids saving restoring
   IRQs and going and waking up from idle.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
