x86: split get_cycles_sync

This patch splits get_cycles_sync() into  __get_cycles_sync(),
and the rdtscll part. Paravirt guests cannot issue rdtscl directly,
as it involves a function call in vdso area.

So, using the __get_cycles_sync() base, we introduce vget_cycles_sync,
which then calls the native version of rdtscll. Ideally, however, a guest
should define its own clocksource, together with a vread function
