x86: Fix sched_clock_cpu for systems with unsynchronized TSC

On UV systems, the TSC is not synchronized across blades.  The
sched_clock_cpu() function is returning values that can go
backwards  (I've seen as much as 8 seconds) when switching
between cpus.

As each cpu comes up, early_init_intel() will currently set the
sched_clock_stable flag true.  When mark_tsc_unstable() runs, it
clears the flag, but this only occurs once (the first time a cpu
comes up whose TSC is not synchronized with cpu 0).  After this,
early_init_intel() will set the flag again as the next cpu comes
up.

Only set sched_clock_stable if tsc has not been marked unstable.
