ACPI: Idle C-states disabled by max_cstate should not disable the TSC

Browse Source 
Processor idle power states C2 and C3 stop the TSC on many machines.
Linux recognizes this situation and marks the TSC as unstable:

Marking TSC unstable due to TSC halts in idle

But if those same machines are booted with "processor.max_cstate=1",
then there is no need to validate C2 and C3, and no need to
disable the TSC, which can be reliably used as a clocksource.
