This reverts commit 7070e085d490c396f9237c8f10bf8b6e69cd0066.

Commit message claims locking is not needed, but that appears
to not be true, seabios ehci driver runs into timekeeping problems
with this, see
	https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1322713

I need to look into it further, because for example the same problem
would happen if you moved the PMTIMER to the hypervisor (Xen does this).
 But for now this is the right fix, I agree.
