Subject: [PATCH 4.17 18/31] x86/apic: Future-proof the TSC_DEADLINE quirk for SKX

4.17-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Len Brown <len.brown@...el.com>

commit d9e6dbcf28f383bf08e6a3180972f5722e514a54 upstream.

All SKX with stepping higher than 4 support the TSC_DEADLINE,
no matter the microcode version.

Without this patch, upcoming SKX steppings will not be able to use
their TSC_DEADLINE timer.
