python: Change m5's tick mechanism of rounding non intergral ticks
This commit changes m5's tick rounding mechanism from python's round()
to python's ceil() function.
Currently, non intergral ticks are rounded by round() function in python.
In python2, this function rounds values >= 0.5 to 1. However, in python3,
0.5 is rounded to 0. This causes the function to return 0 ticks for
non-zero second values, which doesn't make sense, and also causes
several tests to fail.
ceil() function is now used to round up the tick values. This makes more
sense as non-zero second values won't be rounded to zero in any cases.
