perf/x86: Improve accuracy of perf/sched clock

When TSC is stable perf/sched clock is based on it.
However the conversion from cycles to nanoseconds
is not as accurate as it could be.  Because
CYC2NS_SCALE_FACTOR is 10, the accuracy is +/- 1/2048

The change is to calculate the maximum shift that
results in a multiplier that is still a 32-bit number.
For example all frequencies over 1 GHz will have
a shift of 32, making the accuracy of the conversion
+/- 1/(2^33).  That is achieved by using the
'clocks_calc_mult_shift()' function.
