Public bug reported:

SRU Justification

[Impact]

* Microsoft requested patches to work around intermittent deployment
failures on AMDv4 VM sizes due to issues with large values of Hyper-V
timer as part of LP: #2137674. Fixes in the hypervisor have been rolled
out, so the SAUCE patches can be reverted.

[Fix]
Revert the following SAUCE patches
  - "UBUNTU: SAUCE: clocksource: hyper-v: do not use an insanely big TSC in 
hv_read_tsc_page_tsc()"
  - "UBUNTU: SAUCE: clocksource: hyper-v: use the APIC timer if the Hyper-V 
timer is unreliable on some CPUs"

[Test Plan]

* Compile tested
* Microsoft tested

[Regression potential]

* Upstream changes are largely localized to time and clock source functions, 
and have been upstream for some time. Regression likliehood is slim.
* Possible regressions could result in unexpected behavior of Hyper-V driver.

[Other info]

* SF#00422328
