    x86/time: use relative counts in calibration loops
    
    Looping until reaching/exceeding a certain value is error prone: If the
    target value is close enough to the wrapping point, the loop may not
    terminate at all. Switch to using delta values, which then allows to
    fold the two loops each into just one.
