x86: set X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE

If the TSC is constant and non-stop, also set it reliable.

(We will turn this off in DMI quirks for multi-chassis systems)

The performance number on a 16-way Nehalem system running
32 tasks that context-switch between each other is significant:

   sched_clock_stable=0		sched_clock_stable=1
   ....................         ....................
   22.456925 million/sec        24.306972 million/sec   [+8.2%]

lmbench's "lat_ctx -s 0 2" goes from 0.63 microseconds to
0.59 microseconds - a 6.7% increase in context-switching
performance.

Perfstat of 1 million pipe context switches between two tasks:

The speedup comes straight from the reduction in the instruction
count. sched_clock_cpu() got simpler and the whole workload thus
executes faster.
