Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Allow unregistering the watchdog
Hyper-V vmbus module register TSC page clocksource when loaded. This is the
clocksource with the highest rating and thus it becomes the watchdog making
unloading of the vmbus module impossible.
Separate clocksource_select_watchdog() from clocksource_enqueue_watchdog()
and use it on clocksource rating change/unregister.
After all, lobotomized monkeys may need some love too.
