Currently hv_read_tsc_page_tsc() (ab)uses the (valid) time value of U64_MAX as an error return. This breaks the clean wrap-around of the clock. Modify the function signature to return a boolean state and provide another u64 pointer to store the actual time on success. This obviates the need to steal one time value and restores the full counter width.

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.
