x86/time: use correct (local) time stamp in constant-TSC calibration fast path

This looks like a copy and paste mistake in commit 1b6a99892d ("x86:
Simpler time handling when TSC is constant across all power saving
states"), responsible for occasional many-microsecond cross-CPU skew of
what NOW() returns.

Also improve the correlation between local TSC and stime stamps
obtained at the end of the two calibration handlers: Compute the stime
one from the TSC one, instead of doing another rdtsc() for that
compuation.
