Hyper-V guests use the default native_sched_clock() in pv_ops.time.sched_clock
on x86.  But native_sched_clock() directly uses the raw TSC value, which
can be discontinuous in a Hyper-V VM.   Add the generic hv_setup_sched_clock()
to set the sched clock function appropriately.  On x86, this sets
pv_ops.time.sched_clock to read the Hyper-V reference TSC value that is
scaled and adjusted to be continuous.

Also move the Hyper-V reference TSC initialization much earlier in the boot
process so no discontinuity is observed when pv_ops.time.sched_clock
calculates its offset.  This earlier initialization requires that the Hyper-V TSC
page be allocated statically instead of with vmalloc(), so fixup the references
to the TSC page and the method of getting its physical address.
