x86: Support RDTSCP for benchtests

Browse Source 
RDTSCP waits until all previous instructions have executed and all
previous loads are globally visible before reading the counter.  RDTSC
doesn't wait until all previous instructions have been executed before
reading the counter.  All x86 processors since 2010 support RDTSCP
instruction.  This patch adds RDTSCP support to benchtests.

	* benchtests/Makefile (CPPFLAGS-nonlib): Add -DUSE_RDTSCP if
	USE_RDTSCP is defined.
	* sysdeps/x86/hp-timing.h (HP_TIMING_NOW): Use RDTSCP if
	USE_RDTSCP is defined.

On x86 processors, RDTSCP instruction provides more precise timing data
than RDTSC instruction. All x86 processors since 2010 support RDTSCP
instruction. One can force the benchmark to use RDTSCP by invoking make
