x86: fix tsc unification buglet with ftrace and stackprotector

Yinghai Lu reported crashes on 64-bit x86:

 BUG: unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at 0000000000000000
 IP: [<ffffffff80253b17>] hrtick_start_fair+0x89/0x173
 [...]

And with a long session of debugging and a lot of difficulty, tracked it down
to this commit:

 --------------->
 8fbbc4b45ce3e4c0eeb15004c79c72b6896a79c2 is first bad commit

     x86: merge tsc_init and clocksource code
 <--------------

The problem is that the TSC unification missed these Makefile rules
in arch/x86/kernel/Makefile:

  # Do not profile debug and lowlevel utilities
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_64.o = -pg
  CFLAGS_REMOVE_tsc_32.o = -pg
  ...
  CFLAGS_tsc_64.o         := $(nostackp)
  ...

which rules make sure that various instrumentation and debugging
facilities are disabled for code that might end up in a VDSO - such as
the TSC code.
