x86/cpu/vmware: Do not trace vmware_sched_clock()
When running function tracing on a Linux guest running on VMware Workstation, the guest would crash. This is due to tracing of the sched_clock internal call of the VMware vmware_sched_clock(), which causes an infinite recursion within the tracing code (clock calls must not be traced). Make vmware_sched_clock() not traced by ftrace.
