Create an infrastructure for tracking Hyper-V TSC page status, i.e. if it was updated from guest/host side or if we've failed to set it up (because e.g. guest wrote some garbage to HV_X64_MSR_REFERENCE_TSC) and there's no need to retry. Also, in a hypothetical situation when we are in 'always catchup' mode for TSC we can now avoid contending 'hv->hv_lock' on every guest enter by setting the state to HV_TSC_PAGE_BROKEN after compute_tsc_page_parameters() returns false. Check for HV_TSC_PAGE_SET state instead of '!hv->tsc_ref.tsc_sequence' in get_time_ref_counter() to properly handle the situation when we failed to write the updated TSC page values to the guest.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
