kern: use proper memory fences when handling the mapped time

* include/mach/time_value.h (struct mapped_time_value): Adjust comment.
* kern/mach_clock.c (mtime): Likewise.  Also make it volatile.
(update_mapped_time): Use full hardware barriers.
(read_mapped_time): New macro with proper fences.
(record_time_stamp, host_get_time): Use the new macro.
