x86/asm/tsc: Save an instruction in DECLARE_ARGS users

Before, the code to do RDTSC looked like:

  rdtsc
  shl $0x20, %rdx
  mov %eax, %eax
  or  %rdx, %rax

The "mov %eax, %eax" is required to clear the high 32 bits of RAX.

By declaring low and high as 64-bit variables, the code is
simplified to:

  rdtsc
  shl $0x20,%rdx
  or  %rdx,%rax

Yes, it's a 2-byte instruction that's not on a critical path,
but there are principles to be upheld.

Every user of EAX_EDX_RET has been checked. I tried to check
users of EAX_EDX_ARGS, but there weren't any, so I deleted it to
be safe.

( There's no benefit to making "high" 64 bits, but it was the
  simplest way to proceed. )
