x86/time: tsc_check_writability() may need to be run a second time

While we shouldn't remove its current invocation, we need to re-run it
for the case that the X86_FEATURE_TSC_RELIABLE feature flag has been
cleared, in order to avoid using the TSC rendezvous function in case
the TSC can't be written.
