They are globals, not clearly protected by any ordering or locking, and
vulnerable to various startup races.
Instead, for variable TSC machines, register the cpufreq notifier and get
the TSC frequency directly from the cpufreq machinery. Not only is it
always right, it is also perfectly accurate, as no error prone measurement
is required. On such machines, also detect the frequency when bringing
a new CPU online; it isn't clear what frequency it will start with, and
it may not correspond to the reference.
