loops_per_jiffy*Hz is not always 1 second exactly it depends on the realization of _delay() . delay_tsc is used as _delay() in arch/x86/lib/delay.c It makes loop loops_per_jiffy larger than exception and causes one thread can not obtain the spin lock for a long time which may trigger HARD LOCKUP in this case. So we use cpu_clock() which is more accurate.
