[PATCH v6 34/51] x86/vmware: NOP-ify save/restore hooks when using VMware's sched_clock

Message-ID <[email protected]>
NOP-ify the sched_clock save/restore hooks when using VMware's version of
sched_clock.  This will allow extending paravirt_set_sched_clock() to set
the save/restore hooks, without having to simultaneously change the
behavior of VMware guests.

Note, it's not at all obvious that it's safe/correct for VMware guests to
do nothing on suspend/resume, but that's a pre-existing problem.  Leave it
for a VMware expert to sort out.
