While the Hyper-V Reference TSC code is architecture neutral, the
pv_ops.time.sched_clock() function is implemented for x86/x64, but not
for ARM64. Current code calls a utility function under arch/x86 (and
coming, under arch/arm64) to handle the difference.

Change this approach to handle the difference inline based on whether
GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK is present.  The new approach removes code under
arch/* since the difference is tied more to the specifics of the Linux
implementation than to the architecture.

No functional change.

Please refer to:

Prefer to compile out entire functions, rather than portions of
functions or portions of expressions.

OK.  I'll rework the #ifdef in v3 of the patch set.  Is the following
the preferred approach?

#ifdef CONFIG_GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock)
{
	sched_clock_register(sched_clock, 64 NSEC_PER_SEC);
}
#else
#ifdef CONFIG_PARAVIRT
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock)
{
	pv_ops.time.sched_clock = sched_clock:
}
#else
static __always_inline void hv_setup_sched_clock(void *sched_clock) {}
#endif
#endif
