clocksource/drivers/hyper-v: Untangle stimers and timesync from clocksources
hyperv_timer.c exports hyperv_cs, which is used by stimers and the timesync mechanism. However, the clocksource dependency is not needed: these mechanisms only depend on the partition reference counter (which can be read via a MSR or via the TSC Reference Page). Introduce the (function) pointer hv_read_reference_counter, as an embodiment of the partition reference counter read, and export it in place of the hyperv_cs pointer. The latter can be removed. This should clarify that there's no relationship between Hyper-V stimers & timesync and the Linux clocksource abstractions. No functional or semantic change.
