[NET]: Disable NET_SCH_CLK_CPU for SMP x86 hosts

Opterons with frequency scaling have fully unsynchronized TSCs
running at different frequencies, so using TSCs there is not a good idea. 
Also some other x86 boxes have this problem. gettimeofday should be good 
enough, so just disable it.

Choose this if you need a high resolution clock source but can't use
the CPU's cycle counter.
# don't allow on SMP x86 because they can have unsynchronized TSCs.

Say Y here if you want to use the CPU's cycle counter as clock source.
This is a cheap and high resolution clock source, but on some
