x86: Move get/set_wallclock to x86_platform_ops
get/set_wallclock() have already a set of platform dependent
implementations (default, EFI, paravirt). MRST will add another
variant.
Moving them to platform ops simplifies the existing code and minimizes
the effort to integrate new variants.

Now Legacy RTC code instead of EFI get/set_wallclock is used on x86_64.
Your test shows that before this patch, kernel can boot on your system,
but can not boot after that?

Best Regards,
Huang Ying
