RE: [PATCH 2/2] clocksource/Hyper-V: Add Hyper-V specific sched clock function

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.
