Improves results on Intel Westmere which was missing a factor of 2 before
due to latency/register dependencies in the peak flops benchmark.

Hi @TomTheBear

This reverses some of your changes from 2 years ago.

I didn't get the "correct" 2 flops/cycle (mult+add) for scalar operations on a Westmere, this improves it (but also only results in 1.75 flops/cycle on Westmere).

But I just tried to improve it without real insight into the .ptt format.

Thanks for the PR. So, it's just reordering of the instructions and registers?

PTT format is tricky. I tried to document it here: https://github.com/RRZE-HPC/likwid/wiki/Likwid-Bench#adding-benchmarks
