[V2,03/38] x86/smpboot: Avoid pointless delay calibration if TSC is synchronized

Commit Message

Thomas Gleixner May 4, 2023, 7:02 p.m. UTC

From: Thomas Gleixner <[e-mail]>

When TSC is synchronized across sockets then there is no reason to
calibrate the delay for the first CPU which comes up on a socket.

Just reuse the existing calibration value.

This removes 100ms pointlessly wasted time from CPU hotplug per socket.
