Ah, sorry, I got distracted while learning about the hotplug mechanism.
Indeed we cannot move move the callback earlier because the cpufreq
driver kvm uses on crappy hardware gets set in CPUHP_AP_ONLINE_DYN, which
is way too late.

Would be safer to read __this_cpu_read(cpu_tsc_khz) only once, but I
think it works for now as unplug thread must be scheduled and get_cpu()
prevents changes.

Not pretty, but gets the job done ...
