Windows 10/11 guests with Hyper-V role (WSL2) enabled are observed to hang upon boot or shortly after when a non-default TSC frequency was set for L1. The issue is observed on a host where TSC scaling is supported. The problem appears to be that Windows doesn't use TSC frequency for its guests even when the feature is advertised and KVM filters SECONDARY_EXEC_TSC_SCALING out when creating L2 controls from L1's. This leads to L2 running with the default frequency (matching host's) while L1 is running with an altered one. Keep SECONDARY_EXEC_TSC_SCALING in secondary exec controls for L2 when it was set for L1. TSC_MULTIPLIER is already correctly computed and written by prepare_vmcs02().
