John Stultz 6a867a3955 time: Remove xtime_cache
With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
half a second off.

This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
xtime_cache related code.

This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
the edge case in update_wall_time().
