    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.
