drivers/hv: correct tsc page sequence invalid value
Hypervisor Top Level Functional Specification v3/4 says
that TSC page sequence value = -1(0xFFFFFFFF) is used to
indicate that TSC page no longer reliable source of reference
timer. Unfortunately, we found that Windows Hyper-V guest
side implementation uses sequence value = 0 to indicate
that Tsc page no longer valid. This is clearly visible
inside Windows 2012R2 ntoskrnl.exe HvlGetReferenceTime()
function dissassembly:
HvlGetReferenceTime proc near
xchg ax, ax
loc_1401C3132:
mov rax, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage
mov r9d, [rax]
test r9d, r9d
jz short loc_1401C3176

mov rcx, cs:HvlpReferenceTscPage

or rdx, rax
mov rax, [rcx+8]

HvlGetReferenceTime endp
This patch aligns Tsc page invalid sequence value with
Windows Hyper-V guest implementation which is more
compatible with both Hyper-V hypervisor and KVM hypervisor.
