[PATCH v6 05/51] x86/sev: Mark TSC as reliable when configuring Secure TSC

Message-ID <[email protected]>
Move the code to mark the TSC as reliable from sme_early_init() to
snp_secure_tsc_init().  The only reader of TSC_RELIABLE is the aptly
named check_system_tsc_reliable(), which runs in tsc_init(), i.e.
after snp_secure_tsc_init().

This will allow consolidating the handling of TSC_KNOWN_FREQ and
TSC_RELIABLE when overriding the TSC calibration routine.
