Subject: [PATCH v2 2/3] x86/hyperv: move TSC reading method to asm/mshyperv.h

As a preparation to making Hyper-V TSC page suitable for vDSO move
the TSC page reading logic to asm/mshyperv.h. While on it, do the
following
- Document the reading algorithm.
- Simplify the code a bit.
- Add explicit barriers to prevent re-ordering (we need to read sequence
  stricktly before and after)
- Use mul_u64_u64_shr() instead of assembly. I checked and on x86_64
  gcc generates a single 'mul' instruction.
