x86: merge sched_clock handling
Move the basic global variable definitions and sched_clock handling in the common "tsc.c" file. - Unify notsc kernel command line handling for 32 bit and 64bit. - Functional changes for 64bit. - "tsc_disabled" is updated if "notsc" is passed at boottime. - Fallback to jiffies for sched_clock, incase notsc is passed on commandline.
