x86/asm/tsc, x86/kvm: Drop open-coded barrier and use rdtsc_ordered() in kvmclock

__pvclock_read_cycles() used to have two barriers, one of which was unnecessary,
which got removed after an initial version of this patch was sent.

But the barrier is still open-coded unnecessarily - get rid of
that barrier and clean up the code by just using rdtsc_ordered().
