sched_clock: widen the max and min time

Browse Source 
With keeping the max and min sched time within one jiffy of the gtod clock
was too tight. Just before a schedule tick the max could easily be hit, as
well as just after a schedule_tick the min could be hit. This caused the
clock to jump around by a jiffy.

This patch widens the minimum to
   last gtod + (delta_jiffies ? delta_jiffies - 1 : 0) * TICK_NSECS

and the maximum to
    last gtod + (2 + delta_jiffies) * TICK_NSECS

This keeps the minum to gtod or if one jiffy less than delta jiffies
and the maxim 2 jiffies ahead of gtod. This may cause unstable TSCs to be
a bit more sporadic, but it helps keep a clock with a stable TSC working well.
