x86/hyperv: Allow guests to enable InvariantTSC
If the hardware supports TSC scaling, Hyper-V will set bit 15 of the HV_PARTITION_PRIVILEGE_MASK in guest VMs with a compatible Hyper-V configuration version. Bit 15 corresponds to the AccessTscInvariantControls privilege. If this privilege bit is set, guests can access the HvSyntheticInvariantTscControl MSR: guests can set bit 0 of this synthetic MSR to enable the InvariantTSC feature. After setting the synthetic MSR, CPUID will enumerate support for InvariantTSC.
