Subject: [PATCH v3 4/5] clocksource: Enable clocksource_cyc2ns() to cover big cycles

Current clocksource_cyc2ns() has a implicit limit that the (cycles * mult)
can not exceed 64 bits limit. Jason Gunthorpe proposed a way to
handle this big cycles case, and this patch put the handling into
clocksource_cyc2ns() so that it could be used unconditionally.
