sched: improve sched_clock() performance

in scheduler-intense workloads native_read_tsc() overhead accounts for
20% of the system overhead:

659567 system_call 41222.9375
686796 schedule 435.7843
718382 __switch_to 665.1685
823875 switch_mm 4526.7857
1883122 native_read_tsc 55385.9412
9761990 total 2.8468

this is large part due to the rdtsc_barrier() that is done before
and after reading the TSC.

But sched_clock() is not a precise clock in the GTOD sense, using such
barriers is completely pointless. So remove the barriers and only use
them in vget_cycles().

This improves lat_ctx performance by about 5%.
