x86/asm/tsc, x86/paravirt: Remove read_tsc() and read_tscp() paravirt hooks
We've had ->read_tsc() and ->read_tscp() paravirt hooks since the very beginning of paravirt, i.e., d3561b7fa0fb ("[PATCH] paravirt: header and stubs for paravirtualisation"). AFAICT, the only paravirt guest implementation that ever replaced these calls was vmware, and it's gone. Arguably even vmware shouldn't have hooked RDTSC -- we fully support systems that don't have a TSC at all, so there's no point for a paravirt implementation to pretend that we have a TSC but to replace it. I also doubt that these hooks actually worked. Calls to rdtscl() and rdtscll(), which respected the hooks, were used seemingly interchangeably with native_read_tsc(), which did not. Just remove them. If anyone ever needs them again, they can try to make a case for why they need them.
