clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously
The ACPI clocksource takes quite some time to initialize, and this increases the boot time of the kernel for a double digit percentage. This while almost all modern systems will be using the HPET already anyway. This patch turns the clocksource loading into an asynchronous operation; which means it won't hold up the boot while still becoming available normally. To make this work well, an udelay() had to be turned into an usleep_range() so that on UP systems, we yield the CPU to regular boot tasks instead of spinning.
