x86: Simplify the implementations of RDTSC and RDTSCP slightly.
These instructions originally read the TSC into t1 and then unpacked it into eax and edx using a move, a right shift, and then another move. We can combine the second shift and move. The shift will move the upper 32 bits into the lower 32 bits, and clear the upper 32 bits to zero. This has the same effect as moving the lower 32 bits post-shift into another register, since the upper 32 bits will be cleared to zero based on x86 partial register access semantics.
