Impact: disable preemption when calling sched_clock()

The ring_buffer_time_stamp still uses sched_clock as its counter.
But it is a bug to call it with preemption enabled. This requirement
should not be pushed to the ring_buffer_time_stamp callers, so
the ring_buffer_time_stamp needs to disable preemption when calling
sched_clock.
