          x86-64: Move vread_tsc into a new file with sensible options
      
      Removed the -pg from tsc.o which caused the function graph tracer
      to go into an infinite function call recursion as it uses the tsc
      internally outside its recursion protection, thus tracing the tsc
      breaks the function graph tracer.
      
      This commit also added the file vread_tsc_64.c that gets used
      by vdso but failed to prevent GCOV from monkeying with it,
      causing userspace to try to access kernel data when GCOV was
      enabled.
      
      Thanks to Thomas Gleixner for pointing out GCOV as the likely
      culprit that added strange kernel accesses into the vread_tsc()
      call.
