x86/platform/uv: Update TSC sync state for UV5

Update TSC to not check TSC sync state for uv5+ as it is not available.
It is assumed that TSC will always be in sync for multiple chassis and
will pass the tests for the kernel to accept it as the clocksource.
To disable this check use the kernel start options tsc=reliable
clocksource=tsc.
