x86/asm/tsc, kvm: Remove vget_cycles()

The only caller was KVM's read_tsc(). The only difference
between vget_cycles() and native_read_tsc() was that
vget_cycles() returned zero instead of crashing on TSC-less
systems. KVM already checks vclock_mode() before calling that
function, so the extra check is unnecessary. Also, KVM
(host-side) requires the TSC to exist.
