After commit (fc141535ad8 : "x86 tsc_msr: Extend to include Intel Core 
Architecture"), rdmsr MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is used to get maximum non-turbo 
ratio for recent Intel Core Architecture which results in kvm guest rdmsr 
unsafe warning.

As Radim pointed out before:

| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO: Intel changes it from family to family and there is
| no obvious overlap or default.  If we picked 0 (any other fixed value),
| then the guest would have to know that 0 doesn't mean that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO returned 0, but that KVM doesn't emulate this MSR and
| the value cannot be used.  This is very similar to handling a #GP in the
| guest, but also has a disadvantage, because KVM cannot say that
| MSR_PLATFORM_INFO is 0.  Simple emulation is not possible.

This patch fix it by using rdmsr_safe to read MSR_PLATFORM_INFO in kvm 
guest in order that #GP can be fixed up, then tsc will be calibrated by 
PIT, HPET etc.
