Unlike PIT based calibration which counts TSC cycles against another timer,
MSR or CPUID method has no calibration - it simply multiplies the known
frequency of a timer by a ratio. So TSC frequency computed by MSR or CPUID
is the final frequency and doesn't need the refined calibration process.
We used to use set_cpu_cap(&boot_cpu_data, X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE) but
it actually doesn't skip refined calibration because the flag is cleared
later in identify_cpu(). A cpu caps flag is not cleared only if it's set
by setup_force_cpu_cap(). This patch sets the flag in tsc_msr.c and
replaces set_cpu_cap() with setup_force_cpu_cap() in other files.
