timekeeping: Move reset of cycle_last for tsc clocksource to tsc
change_clocksource resets the cycle_last value to zero then sets it to
a value read from the clocksource. The reset to zero is required only
for the TSC clocksource to make the read_tsc function work after a
resume. The reason is that the TSC read function uses cycle_last to
detect backwards going TSCs. In the resume case cycle_last contains
the TSC value from the last update before the suspend. On resume the
TSC starts counting from 0 again and would trip over the cycle_last
comparison.
This is subtle and surprising. Move the reset to a resume function in
the tsc code.
