clocksource: Cleanup clocksource selection
If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock
and then registered it becomes active even if the system is in one-shot
mode. Move the override check from sysfs_override_clocksource to the
clocksource selection. That fixes the bug and simplifies the code. The
check in clocksource_register for double registration of the same
clocksource is removed without replacement.
To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is
defined that returns the jiffies clocksource. The architecture code
can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource,
e.g. the TOD clock on s390.
