x86/time: introduce and use rdtsc_ordered()

Matching Linux commit 03b9730b76 ("x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtsc_ordered() and
use it in trivial call sites") and earlier ones it builds upon, let's
make sure timing loops don't have their rdtsc()-s re-ordered, as that
would harm precision of the result (values were observed to be several
hundred clocks off without this adjustment).

x86/time: also use rdtsc_ordered() in check_tsc_warp()

This really was meant to be added in a v2 of what became commit
fa74e70500 ("x86/time: introduce and use rdtsc_ordered()").
