x86: kvmclock: drop rdtsc_barrier()
Drop unnecessary rdtsc_barrier(), as has been determined empirically, see 057e6a8c660e95c3f4e7162e00e2fee1fc90c50d for details. Noticed by Andy Lutomirski. Improves clock_gettime() by approximately 15% on Intel i7-3520M @ 2.90GHz. Signed-off-by: Marcelo Tosatti <mtosatti@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Paolo Bonzini <pbonzini@redhat.com>
