Peter Zijlstra 20d1c86a57 sched/clock, x86: Rewrite cyc2ns() to avoid the need to disable IRQs
Use a ring-buffer like multi-version object structure which allows
always having a coherent object; we use this to avoid having to
disable IRQs while reading sched_clock() and avoids a problem when
getting an NMI while changing the cyc2ns data.

*
* Continuity means that when our frequency changes our slope (b); we want to
* ensure that: f(t) == f'(t), which gives: a + b*t == a' + b'*t.
*
* Without an offset (a) the above would not be possible.
