Subject: [RFC v5 21/23] clockevents: initial support for mono to raw time conversion

With NOHZ_FULL and one single well-isolated, CPU consumptive task, one
would expect approximately one clockevent interrupt per second. However, on
my Intel Haswell where the monotonic clock is the TSC monotonic clock and
the clockevent device is the TSC deadline device, it turns out that every
second, there are two such interrupts: the first one arrives always
approximately ~50us before the scheduled deadline as programmed by
tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() through the hrtimer API. The
__hrtimer_run_queues() called in this interrupt detects that the queued
tick_sched_timer hasn't expired yet and simply does nothing except
reprogramming the clock event device to fire shortly after again.

These too early programmed deadlines are explained as follows:
clockevents_program_event() programs the clockevent device to fire
after
  f_event * delta_t_progr
clockevent device cycles where f_event is the clockevent device's hardware
frequency and delta_t_progr is the requested time interval. After that many
clockevent device cycles have elapsed, the device underlying the monotonic
clock, that is the monotonic raw clock has seen f_raw / f_event as many
cycles.
The ktime_get() called from __hrtimer_run_queues() interprets those
cycles to run at the frequency of the monotonic clock. Summarizing:
  delta_t_perc = 1/f_mono * f_raw/f_event * f_event * delta_t_progr
               = f_raw / f_mono * delta_t_progr
with f_mono being the monotonic clock's frequency and delta_t_perc being
the elapsed time interval as perceived by __hrtimer_run_queues().

Now, f_mono is not a constant, but is dynamically adjusted in
timekeeping_adjust() in order to compensate for the NTP error. With the
large values of delta_t_progr of 10^9ns with NOHZ_FULL, the error made
becomes significant and results in the double timer interrupts described
above.

Compensate for this error by multiplying the clockevent device's f_event
by f_mono/f_raw.

Namely:
- Introduce a ->mult_adjusted member to the struct clock_event_device. Its
  value is supposed to be equal to ->mult * f_mono/f_raw for devices
  which don't have the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_NO_ADJUST flag set, equal to ->mult
  otherwise.
- Introduce the timekeeping_get_mono_mult() helper which provides
  the clockevent core with access to the timekeeping's current f_mono
  and f_raw.
- Introduce the helper __clockevents_adjust_freq() which
  sets a clockevent device's ->mult_adjusted member as appropriate. It is
  implemented with the help of the new __clockevents_calc_adjust_freq().
- Call __clockevents_adjust_freq() at clockevent device registration time
  as well as at frequency updates through clockevents_update_freq().
- Use the ->mult_adjusted rather than ->mult in the ns to cycle
  conversion made in clockevents_program_event() as well as in the
  cycle to ns conversion in cev_delta2ns().
- Finally, move ->mult out of struct clock_event_device's first cacheline.

Note that future adjustments of the monotonic clock are not taken into
account yet. Furthemore, this patch assumes that after a clockevent
device's registration, its ->mult changes only through calls to
clockevents_update_freq().
