x86/time: fix scale_delta() inline assembly

The way it was coded, it clobbered %rdx without telling the compiler.
This generally didn't cause any problems except when there are two back
to back invocations (as in plt_overflow()), as in that case the
compiler may validly assume that it can re-use for the second instance
the value loaded into %rdx before the first one.

Once at it, also properly relax the second operand of "mul" (there's no
need for it to be in %rdx, or a register at all), and switch away from
using explicit register names in the instruction operands.
