x86: VMware: Fix vmware_get_tsc code
Impact: Fix possible failure to calibrate the TSC on Vmware near 4 GHz
The current version of the code to get the tsc frequency from
the VMware hypervisor, will be broken on processor with frequency
(4G-1) HZ, because on such processors eax will have UINT_MAX
and that would be legitimate.
We instead check that EBX did change to decide if we were able to
read the frequency from the hypervisor.
