x86/UV: Lower UV rtc clocksource rating

Lower the rating of the UV rtc clocksource to just below that of
the tsc, to improve performance.

Reading the tsc clocksource has lower latency than reading the
rtc, so favor it in situations where it is synchronized and
stable.  When the tsc is unsynchronized, the rtc needs to be the
chosen clocksource.
