[PATCH 15/19] x86/tsc_sync: Use rdtsc_ordered() in check_tsc_warp() and drop extra barriers

[Borislav Petkov <bp@alien8.de>]

From: Andy Lutomirski <luto@kernel.org>

Using get_cycles was unnecessary: check_tsc_warp() is not called
on TSC-less systems. Replace rdtsc_barrier(); get_cycles() with
rdtsc_ordered().

While we're at it, make the somewhat more dangerous change of removing
barrier_before_rdtsc after RDTSC in the TSC warp check code. This should
be okay, though -- the vDSO TSC code doesn't have that barrier, so, if
removing the barrier from the warp check would cause us to detect a warp
that we otherwise wouldn't detect, then we have a genuine bug.
