x86/tsc: Use CPUID.0x16 to calculate missing crystal frequency
native_calibrate_tsc() had a data mapping Intel CPU families and crystal clock speed, but hardcoded tables are not ideal, and this approach was already problematic at least in the Skylake X case, as seen in commit: b51120309348 ("x86/tsc: Fix erroneous TSC rate on Skylake Xeon") By examining CPUID data from http://instlatx64.atw.hu/ and units in the lab, we have found that 3 different scenarios need to be dealt with, and we can eliminate most of the hardcoded data using an approach a little more advanced than before: 1. ApolloLake, GeminiLake, CannonLake (and presumably all new chipsets from this point) report the crystal frequency directly via CPUID.0x15. That's definitive data that we can rely upon. 2. Skylake, Kabylake and all variants of those two chipsets report a crystal frequency of zero, however we can calculate the crystal clock speed by condidering data from CPUID.0x16. This method correctly distinguishes between the two crystal clock frequencies present on different Skylake X variants that caused headaches before. As the calculations do not quite match the previously-hardcoded values in some cases (e.g. 23913043Hz instead of 24MHz), TSC refinement is enabled on all platforms where we had to calculate the crystal frequency in this way. 3. Denverton (GOLDMONT_X) reports a crystal frequency of zero and does not support CPUID.0x16, so we leave this entry hardcoded.
