Subject: [V2] x86/tsc: Unset TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE flags on Intel Bay Trail SoC

From: Vipul Kumar <vipul_kumar@...tor.com>

'commit f3a02ecebed7 ("x86/tsc: Set TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and TSC_RELIABLE
flags on Intel Atom SoCs")', causing time drift for Bay trail SoC.
These flags are set for SoCs having cpuid_level 0x15 or more.
Bay trail is having cpuid_level 0xb.

So, unset both flags to make sure the clocksource calibration can
be done.
