Subject: [PATCH v5 1/2] x86, tsc: Fallback to normal calibration if fast MSR calibration fails
From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@...utronix.de>
If we cannot calibrate TSC via MSR based calibration
try_msr_calibrate_tsc() stores zero to fast_calibrate and returns that to
the caller. This value gets then propagated further to clockevents code
resulting division by zero oops like the one below:

Prevent this from happening by:
1) Modifying try_msr_calibrate_tsc() to return calibration value or zero
if it fails.
2) Check this return value in native_calibrate_tsc() and in case of zero
fallback to use normal non-MSR based calibration.

Changes to the previous version (v4) is that I added my SoB as requested by
Thomas.
