x86: harden tsc udelay() function
Since the TSC udelay() function can be used in SMM that means the
TSC can count up to whatever value. The current loop was not handling
TSC rollover properly. In most cases this should not matter as the TSC
typically starts ticking at value 0, and it would take a very long time
to roll it over. However, it is my understanding that this behavior is
not guaranteed. Theoretically the TSC could start or be be written to
with a large value that would cause the rollover.
