Eric Dumazet 152f9d0710 sched_clock: Fix atomicity/continuity bug by using cmpxchg64()
Commit def0a9b257 (sched_clock: Make it NMI safe) assumed
cmpxchg() of 64bit values was available on X86_32.

That is not so - and causes some subtle scheduler misbehavior due
to incorrect timestamps off to up by ~4 seconds.

Two symptoms are known right now:

 - interactivity problems seen by Arjan: up to 600 msecs
   latencies instead of the expected 20-40 msecs. These
   latencies are very visible on the desktop.

 - incorrect CPU stats: occasionally too high percentages in 'top',
   and crazy CPU usage stats.

/*
* sched_clock for unstable cpu clocks
*
* Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc., Peter Zijlstra <pzijlstr@redhat.com>
*
* Updates and enhancements:
* Copyright (C) 2008 Red Hat, Inc. Steven Rostedt <srostedt@redhat.com>
*
* Based on code by:
* Ingo Molnar <mingo@redhat.com>
* Guillaume Chazarain <guichaz@gmail.com>
*
* Create a semi stable clock from a mixture of other events, including:
* - gtod
* - sched_clock()
* - explicit idle events
*
* We use gtod as base and the unstable clock deltas. The deltas are filtered,
* making it monotonic and keeping it within an expected window.
*
* Furthermore, explicit sleep and wakeup hooks allow us to account for time
* that is otherwise invisible (TSC gets stopped).
*
* The clock: sched_clock_cpu() is monotonic per cpu, and should be somewhat
* consistent between cpus (never more than 2 jiffies difference).
