Mike reported that he could trigger the WARN_ON_ONCE() in
set_sched_clock_stable() using hotplug.
This exposed a fundamental problem with the interface, we should never
mark the TSC stable if we ever find it to be unstable. Therefore
set_sched_clock_stable() is a broken interface.
The reason it existed is that not having it is a pain, it means all
relevant architecture code needs to call clear_sched_clock_stable()
where appropriate.
Of the three architectures that select HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK ia64
and parisc are trivial in that they never called
set_sched_clock_stable(), so add an unconditional call to
clear_sched_clock_stable() to them.
For x86 the story is a lot more involved, and what this patch tries to
do is ensure we preserve the status quo. So even is Cyrix or Transmeta
have usable TSC they never called set_sched_clock_stable() so they now
get an explicit mark unstable.
