Subject: [PATCH v2] time: Fix sleeptime injection for non-stop clocksource & persistent clock

Currently, for both non-stop clocksource and persistent clock
there is a corner case, when a driver failed to go suspend mode.
rtc_resume() injects the sleeptime as timekeeping_rtc_skipresume()
returned 'false'(sleeptime_injected=false) due to which we can
see mismatch in timestamps between system clock and other timers.

Fix this by updating sleeptime_injected=true for both non-stop
clocksource and persistent clock.

Success case:
------------
                                         {sleeptime_injected=true}
rtc_suspend() => timekeeping_suspend() => timekeeping_resume() =>
  rtc_resume()

Failure case:
------------
             {failure in sleep path} {sleeptime_injected=false}
rtc_suspend()          =>            rtc_resume()

Signed-off-by: Mukesh Ojha <mojha@...eaurora.org>

Changes in v2:
 * Updated the commit text.
 * Removed extra variable and used the earlier static
   variable 'sleeptime_injected'.
