time: Remove xtime_cache
With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly half a second off. This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the xtime_cache related code. This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change, where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling the edge case in update_wall_time().
