Subject: [PATCH] x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on recent UV

Disable clocksource watchdog checking on recent and future UV platforms
to avoid false positives.

Commits 'b50db7095fe0 ("x86/tsc: Disable clocksource watchdog for TSC on
qualified platforms")' and '233756a640be ("Extend watchdog check exemption
to 4-Sockets platform")' were introduced to avoid an issue where the TSC
is falsely declared unstable by exempting qualified platforms of up to
4-sockets from TSC clocksource watchdog checking.  Extend that exemption
to include recent and future UV platforms.
