x86/hyperv: Set X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE unconditionally

Enable X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE by default as X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE is
independent from invariant TSC and should have never been gated by the
HV_ACCESS_TSC_INVARIANT privilege.

To elaborate, the HV_ACCESS_TSC_INVARIANT privilege allows certain types of
guests to opt-in to invariant TSC by writing the
HV_X64_MSR_TSC_INVARIANT_CONTROL register. Not all guests will have this
privilege and the hypervisor will automatically opt-in certain types of
guests (e.g. EXO partitions) to invariant TSC, but this functionality is
unrelated to the TSC reliability.
