The only caller was kvm's read_tsc. The only difference between
vget_cycles and native_read_tsc was that vget_cycles returned zero
instead of crashing on TSC-less systems. KVM's already checks
vclock_mode before calling that function, so the extra check is
unnecessary.
(Off-topic, but the whole KVM clock host implementation is gross.
IMO it should be rewritten.)
