x86/timers: Move simple_udelay_calibration() past kvmclock_init()



simple_udelay_calibration() relies on x86_platform's calibration ops.
For KVM these ops are set late in setup_arch() and so
simple_udelay_calibration() ends up using native version.

Besides being possibly incorrect, this significantly increases kernel
boot time. For example, on my laptop executing start_kernel() by a guest
takes ~10 times more than when KVM's ops are used.

Since early_xdbc_setup_hardware() relies on calibration having been
performed move it too.
