failsafe mechanism to HPET clock calibration

Provide a failsafe mechanism to avoid kernel spinning forever at
read_hpet_tsc during early kernel bootup.

This failsafe mechanism was originally introduced in commit
2f7a2a79, but looks like the hpet split
from time.c lost it again.

This reintroduces the failsafe mechanism
