revert "x86: tsc prevent time going backwards"
revert: | commit 47001d603375f857a7fab0e9c095d964a1ea0039 | Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de> | Date: Tue Apr 1 19:45:18 2008 +0200 | | x86: tsc prevent time going backwards it has been identified to cause suspend regression - and the commit fixes a longstanding bug that existed before 2.6.25 was opened - so it can wait some more until the effects are better understood.
