sched clock: revert various sched_clock() changes
Found an interactivity problem on a quad core test-system - simple
CPU loops would occasionally delay the system un an unacceptable way.
After much debugging with Peter Zijlstra it turned out that the problem
is caused by the string of sched_clock() changes - they caused the CPU
clock to jump backwards a bit - which confuses the scheduler arithmetics.
(which is unsigned for performance reasons)
So revert:
# c300ba2: sched_clock: and multiplier for TSC to gtod drift
# c0c8773: sched_clock: only update deltas with local reads.
# af52a90: sched_clock: stop maximum check on NO HZ
# f7cce27: sched_clock: widen the max and min time
This solves the interactivity problems.
