Subject: [RFC] clocksource: Add clocksource drivers menu.

From: Srinivas Kandagatla <srinivas.kandagatla@...com>

This patch adds "Clocksource drivers" menu to clocksource drivers.
The reason to add this is because, some of the clocksource Kconfig
options like *SHED_CLK ones are selectable and they appear at random
places in the device drivers menu.
These options can be more than one option for multiplatform case, so I
think it will be neat to get a menu to clocksource drivers itself.

Hi All, 
I noticed that if my clock source has a selectable option, it appears as an
option under device drivers menu without any sub-menu, which seems to be bit
confusing and un-usual.

Having a dedicated menu for clock source makes much sense as these options might
grow as we have more than one clocksource driver as part of multi-platform
builds.

Thanks,
srini
