x86/tsc: Provide a means to disable TSC ART

On systems where multiple chassis are reset asynchronously, and thus
the TSC counters are started asynchronously, the offset needed to
convert to TSC to ART would be different. Disable ART in that case
and rely on the TSC counters to supply the accurate time.
