Subject: [PATCH 3.11 114/144] clocksource: vf_pit_timer: use complement for sched_clock reading

3.11.10.7 -stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Stefan Agner <stefan@...er.ch>

commit 224aa3ed45c8735ae02bb2ecca002409fa6aa772 upstream.

Vybrids PIT register is monitonic decreasing. However, sched_clock
reading needs to be monitonic increasing. Use bitwise not to get
the complement of the clock register. This fixes the clock going
backward. Also, the clock now starts at 0 since we load the
register with the maximum value at start.
