From: Maxim Levitsky <mlevitsk@redhat.com>

commit e910a53fb4f20aa012e46371ffb4c32c8da259b4 upstream.

If nested tsc scaling is disabled, MSR_AMD64_TSC_RATIO should
never have non default value.

Due to way nested tsc scaling support was implmented in qemu,
it would set this msr to 0 when nested tsc scaling was disabled.
Ignore that value for now, as it causes no harm.

Fixes: 5228eb96a487 ("KVM: x86: nSVM: implement nested TSC scaling")
