When we have more than one CPU in system, counter synchronisation
overhead can lead to a scenario that sched_clock goes backward when
being read from different CPUs.

This is accommodated by CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK, but it's
unavailable on 32bit kernel.

We don't want to risk sched_clock correctness, so if we have multiple
CPU in system and CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK is not set, we just
don't use counter as sched_clock source.
