sched_clock: fix cpu_clock()

This patch fixes 3 issues:

a) it removes the dependency on jiffies, because jiffies are incremented
   by a single CPU, and the tick is not synchronized between CPUs. Therefore
   relying on it to calculate a window to clip whacky TSC values doesn't work
   as it can drift around.

   So instead use [GTOD, GTOD+TICK_NSEC) as the window.

b) __update_sched_clock() did (roughly speaking):

   delta = sched_clock() - scd->tick_raw;
   clock += delta;

   Which gives exponential growth, instead of linear.

c) allows the sched_clock_cpu() value to warp the u64 without breaking.

the results are more reliable sched_clock() deltas:
