timer: remove useless check on x86 TSC reliability

This code was added 7+ years ago in
commit fb022b85bae4 ("timer: check TSC reliability")
presumably when variant TSCs were still somewhat common.

But this code doesn't do anything except print a warning,
and the warning doesn't give any kind of advice to the user,
so let's just remove it.

While the warning has no functional meaning, the /proc/cpuinfo
parsing consumes a non-trivial amount of time which is especially
noticeable in secondary processes.
On my test system, it consumes 21ms out of the 66ms total execution
time for rte_eal_init() in a secondary process.
