Subject: x86, sched: Bail out of frequency invariance if turbo frequency is
 unknown
Patch-mainline: v5.9-rc1
Git-commit: 51beea8862a3095559862df39554f05042e1195b
References: bsc#1176925

There may be CPUs that support turbo boost but don't declare any turbo
ratio, i.e. their MSR_TURBO_RATIO_LIMIT is all zeroes. In that condition
scale-invariant calculations can't be performed.
