While looking at native_sched_clock() disassembly I had
the surprise to see the compiler (gcc 7.3 here) had
optimized out the loop, meaning the code is broken.
Using the documented and approved API not only fixes the bug,
it also makes the code more readable.
Replacing five this_cpu_read() by one this_cpu_ptr() makes
the generated code smaller.
