  AMD Epyc processors doesn't support get_tsc_freq_arch().
The patch allows graceful return to allow fallback to
alternate TSC calibration.

Fixes: 3dbc565e81a0 ("timer: honor arch-specific TSC frequency query")

Applied

I don't want to block longer this fix,
but I am not satisfied with the implementation.
David, Ferruh, Bruce and Morten were proposing some abstractions
for CPU features identification.
I think we should start a new enum in rte_cpuflags.h defining some
common CPU features, example is timer calibration here.

The function get_tsc_freq_arch() was already doing some __cpuid calls,
so it's one more, but please could you work on abstracting it in EAL?

Thank you
