SRU Justification:

[Impact]
Fix tsc clocksource on 4 sockets x86 servers was wrongly
judged as 'unstable' by 'jiffies' and other watchdogs,
and disabled

[Fix]
cherry-pick
    233756a640be x86/tsc: Extend watchdog check exemption to 4-Sockets platform
from upstream fixes this

[Test Plan]
This has been tested by intel, and has been upstreamed for a while.

[Where problems could occur]
This is a fairly narrow change, and extends a behaviour
correction to cover up to 4-socket machines, rather
than just 2 socket machines
