Subject: [PATCH 1/3] x86/tsc: Be consistent about use_tsc_delay()

Currently loops_per_jiffy is set in tsc_early_init(), but then don't
switch to delay_tsc, with the result that delay_loop is used with
loops_per_jiffy set for delay_tsc.

Then in (late) tsc_init() lpj_fine is set (which is mostly unused) and
after which use_tsc_delay() is finally called.

Move both loops_per_jiffy and use_tsc_delay() into
tsc_enable_sched_clock() which is called the moment tsc_khz is
determined, be it early or late. Keeping the lot consistent.
