Unfortunately in the case that TSC is disabled, sched_clock is still
reported as stable, which means removing the tsc_disabled() check breaks
the capability bit. e.g.

$ dmesg | grep -i TSC
[ 0.000000] Command line: BOOT_IMAGE=/boot/vmlinuz-3.11.0+ root=UUID=f1b4c71a-15aa-41a6-8898-cdde49966bce ro ignore_loglevel earlyprintk=ttyS0 console=ttyS0,115200n8 no_console_suspend notsc=1 sched_debug=1

[ 0.000000] tsc: Kernel compiled with CONFIG_X86_TSC, cannot disable TSC completely

$ cat /proc/sched_debug | grep sched_clock_stable
sched_clock_stable : 1
