If native_calibrate_tsc() can not discover the TSC frequency,
via CPUID or via built-in table, it must return without
setting X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ. Otherwise, X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ
will prevent TSC refined calibration.
This patch allows Linux to correctly support future Intel hardware,
that has (cpu_khz != tsc_khz), and support for CPUID.15
without support for CPUID.15.crystal_khz.
This patch is needed since X86_FEATURE_TSC_KNOWN_FREQ was added in Linux-4.10:
commit 4ca4df0b7eb0
("x86/tsc: Mark TSC frequency determined by CPUID as known")
If not applied, such systems will run with tsc_khz = cpu_khz,
which may result in under-stated TSC rate, and time-of-day drift.
