x86/time: Correct the attribute on jiffies' definition

Clang warns that the declaration of jiffies in include/linux/jiffies.h
doesn't match the definition in arch/x86/time/kernel.c:

arch/x86/kernel/time.c:29:42: warning: section does not match previous declaration [-Wsection]
__visible volatile unsigned long jiffies __cacheline_aligned = INITIAL_JIFFIES;
                                         ^

                 __section__(".data..cacheline_aligned")))

                                                       ^
1 warning generated.

The declaration was changed in commit 7c30f352c852 ("jiffies.h: declare
jiffies and jiffies_64 with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp") but wasn't
updated here. Make them match so Clang no longer warns.

Fixes: 7c30f352c852 ("jiffies.h: declare jiffies and jiffies_64 with ____cacheline_aligned_in_smp")
