[NET]: Disable NET_SCH_CLK_CPU for SMP x86 hosts

Opterons with frequency scaling have fully unsynchronized TSCs
running at different frequencies, so using TSCs there is not a good idea. 
Also some other x86 boxes have this problem. gettimeofday should be good 
enough, so just disable it.

           Say Y here if you want to use the CPU's cycle counter as clock source.
           This is a cheap and high resolution clock source, but on some
