timekeeping: optimized ktime_get[_ts] for GENERIC_TIME=y

The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial
for GENERIC_TIME=y:

 0)               |  ktime_get() {
 0)               |    ktime_get_ts() {
 0)               |      getnstimeofday() {
 0)               |        read_tod_clock() {
 0)   0.601 us    |        }
 0)   1.938 us    |      }
 0)               |      set_normalized_timespec() {
 0)   0.602 us    |      }
 0)   4.375 us    |    }
 0)   5.523 us    |  }

Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of
unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second
value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second
delta from the clock source.

ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls
clocksource_read:

 0)               |  ktime_get() {
 0)               |    read_tod_clock() {
 0)   0.610 us    |    }
 0)   1.977 us    |  }

It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing
to a nano second value.

ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.

[ tglx: added WARN_ON(timekeeping_suspended) as in getnstimeofday() ]
