Upcoming changes will do performance measurements of instructions. Since
stck is designed to return unique values even on concurrent calls, it is
unsuited for performance measurements. stckf should be used in this
case.
While touching that code, also add a missing cc clobber in
get_clock_us() and avoid the memory clobber by moving the clock value to
the output operands.
Hence, add a nice wrapper for stckf to the time library.
