hpet: fix the possibility of insane return value of hpet_calibrate() …

…against SMI

hpet_calibrate() has a possibility of miss-calibration due to SMI.  If SMI
interrupts in the while loop of calibration, then return value will be
big.  This change calibrates until stabilizing by the return value with a
small value.
