Subject: [RFC v7 20/23] clockevents: purge ->min_delta_ns

The struct clock_event_device's ->min_delta_ns member isn't used anymore.

Purge it.

In __clockevents_update_bounds(), shortcut the
  ->min_delta_ticks => ->min_delta_ns => ->min_delta_ticks_adjusted
calculation detour -- it had been made solely for the purpose of ensuring
that ->min_delta_ticks_adjusted corresponds to something >= 1us.
