[PATCH] i386: remove xtime_lock'ing around cpufreq notifier

Browse Source 
The locking of the xtime_lock around the cpu notifier is unessesary now.
At one time the tsc was used after a frequency change for timekeeping, but
the re-write of timekeeping no longer uses the TSC unless the frequency is
constant.

The variables that are changed in this section of code had also once been
used for timekeeping, but not any longer ..
