[PATCH] x86, tsc: Fix tsc ratio calibration to avoid broken mdelay

From: yu . c . chen

From: Chen Yu <yu.c.chen@xxxxxxxxx>

Currently we fetch the tsc radio by:
ratio = (lo >> 8) & 0x1f;
thus get bit8~bit12 of the MSR_PLATFORM_INFO, however according
to Intel 64 and IA-32 Architectures Software Developer Manual 35.5,
the ratio bit should be bit8~bit15, otherwise we might get incorrect
tsc ratio and cause system hang later(mdelay corrupted).

Fix this problem by masking 0xff instead.
