x86/tsc: Add option to disable tsc clocksource watchdog 

Clocksource watchdog has been found responsible for generating latency
spikes (in the 10-20 us range) when woken up to check for TSC stability.

Add an option to disable it at boot.

[x86] unstable: mark the TSC clocksource as unstable, this
marks the TSC unconditionally unstable at bootup and
avoids any further wobbles once the TSC watchdog notices.
[x86] nowatchdog: disable clocksource watchdog. Used
in situations with strict latency requirements (where
interruptions from clocksource watchdog are not
acceptable).
