Subject: [RFC] ARM: sched_clock: update epoch_cyc on resume

Many clocks that are used to provide sched_clock will reset during
suspend.  If read_sched_clock returns 0 after suspend, sched_clock will
appear to jump forward.  This patch resets cd.epoch_cyc to the current
value of read_sched_clock during resume, which causes sched_clock() just
after suspend to return the same value as sched_clock() just before
suspend.

In addition, during the window where epoch_ns has been updated before
suspend, but epoch_cyc has not been updated after suspend, it is unknown
whether the clock has reset or not, and sched_clock() could return a
bogus value.  Add a suspended flag, and return the pre-suspend epoch_ns
value during this period.

This will have a side effect of causing SoCs that have clocks that
continue to count in suspend to appear to stop counting, reporting the
same sched_clock() value before and after suspend.
