x86/asm/tsc: Add rdtsc_ordered() and use it in trivial call sites

Browse Source 
rdtsc_barrier(); rdtsc() is an unnecessary mouthful and requires
more thought than should be necessary. Add an rdtsc_ordered()
helper and replace the trivial call sites with it.

This should not change generated code. The duplication of the
fence asm is temporary.

* rdtsc_ordered() - read the current TSC in program order

* It is ordered like a load to a global in-memory counter. It should
* be impossible to observe non-monotonic rdtsc_unordered() behavior
* across multiple CPUs as long as the TSC is synced.
