Subject: [PATCH] KVM: SVM: Set HWCR[TscFreqSel] to host's value

KVM sets CPUID.80000007H:EDX[8] to 1, but not set HWCR[TscFreqSel].
This will cause guest kernel printing below log on AMD platform even
though the hardware TSC exactly counts with P0 frequency.
"[Firmware Bug]: TSC doesn't count with P0 frequency!"

Fix it by setting HWCR[TscFreqSel] to host's value to indicate whether
the TSC increments at the P0 frequency.
