x86: loapic_timer: use TSC for k_cycle_get_32()
The LOAPIC driver was doing this in a way susceptible to a very
nasty race condition: the CCR register could reset and be readable
before the associated interrupt could be delivered.
This resulted in a small window of time where CCR was reset, but
accumulated_cycle_count not updated, causing some calls to
k_cycle_get_32() to appear to jump backwards in time.
Just use the x86 TSC for these cycle timestamps. A divisor may be
provided in cases where the CPU clock speed is some multiple of
the bus speed. Modern x86 CPUs do not change their TSC rate even
when adjusting cpu frequency, so this should be a reliable timing
source.
