Due to the extreme twistedness of the world, CONFIG_X86_TSC doesn't
mean "I have a TSC", it means "I compiled out PIT support completely".
Don't ask me why.
However, this means that the check for it in the lockmeter code is
invalid - it's perfectly valid to use a i386 compiled kernel on a 686,
where CONFIG_X86_TSC is off, but we have both TSC and PIT support.
Patch simply removes the #error check.
