x86: use cpu_khz for loops_per_jiffy calculation, cleanup
As suggested by Ingo, remove all references to tsc from init/calibrate.c TSC is x86 specific, and using tsc in variable names in a generic file should be avoided. lpj_tsc is now called lpj_fine, since it is related to fine tuning of lpj value. Also tsc_rate_* is called timer_rate_* Signed-off-by: Alok N Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Cc: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@infradead.org> Cc: Daniel Hecht <dhecht@vmware.com> Cc: Tim Mann <mann@vmware.com> Cc: Zach Amsden <zach@vmware.com> Cc: Sahil Rihan <srihan@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
