instrumentation: Avoid CPUID 0x15/0x16 for Hypervisor TSC frequency

This restricts the retrieval of the TSC frequency whilst under a Hypervisor to
either Hypervisor-specific CPUID registers (0x40000010), or TSC
calibration. We previously allowed retrieving from the traditional CPUID
registers for TSC frequency (0x15/0x16) like on bare metal, but it turns out
that they are not trustworthy when virtualized and can report wildly incorrect
frequencies, like 7 kHz when the actual calibrated frequencty is 2.5 GHz.

Per report from buildfarm member drongo.
