Make TSC the default system clock source #249

Description

@cwhatley

What would you like to be added:

Make the default system clock source "tsc" instead of "xen".

Why is this needed:

Docker containers that do frequent system time lookups can be badly affected by the overhead around the xen system clock source.

AWS's own tuning recommendations suggest this switch.

Is there any reason not to switch to tsc as the default for the EKS images?
