failsafe mechanism to HPET clock calibration
Provide a failsafe mechanism to avoid kernel spinning forever at
read_hpet_tsc during early kernel bootup.
This failsafe mechanism was originally introduced in commit
2f7a2a79c3ebb44f8b1b7d9b4fd3a650eb69e544, but looks like the hpet split
from time.c lost it again.
This reintroduces the failsafe mechanism
