hyperv_timer.c exports hyperv_cs, which is used by stimers and the timesync mechanism. However, the clocksource dependency is not needed: these mechanisms only depend on the partition reference counter (which can be read via a MSR or via the TSC Reference Page). Introduce the (function) pointer hv_read_reference_counter, as an embodiment of the partition reference counter read, and export it in place of the hyperv_cs pointer. The latter can be removed. This should clarify that there's no relationship between Hyper-V stimers & timesync and the Linux clocksource abstractions. No functional or semantic change.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
