Change the time resolution for initcall_debug to microseconds,
from milliseconds.  This is handy to determine which
initcalls you want to work on for faster booting.

One one of my test machines, over 90% of the initcalls are
less than a millisecond and (without this patch) these are
all reported as 0 msecs.  Working on the 900 us ones is more
important than the 4 us ones.

With 'quiet' on the kernel command line, this adds no significant
overhead to kernel boot time.
