[ Upstream commit c445535c3efbfb8cb42d098e624d46ab149664b7 ]
Marking TSC as unstable has a side effect of marking sched_clock as unstable when TSC is still being used as the sched_clock. This is not desirable. Hyper-V ultimately uses a paravirtualized clock source that provides a stable scheduler clock even on systems without TscInvariant CPU capability. Hence, mark_tsc_unstable() call should be called _after_ scheduler clock has been changed to the paravirtualized clocksource. This will prevent any unwanted manipulation of the sched_clock. Only TSC will be correctly marked as unstable.
