Subject: [RFC v7 23/23] timekeeping: inform clockevents about freq adjustments

Upon adjustments of the monotonic clock's frequencies from the
timekeeping core, the clockevents devices' ->mult_adjusted should be
changed accordingly, too.

Introduce clockevents_adjust_all_freqs() which traverses all registered
clockevent devices and, if the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_NO_ADJUST flag is not set,
recalculates their ->mult_adjusted based on the monotonic clock's current
frequency.

Call clockevents_adjust_all_freqs() from timekeeping_freqadjust().

Note that it might look like as if timekeeping_apply_adjustment() was the
more natural candidate to trigger the clockevent devices' frequency updates
from: it's the single place where the mono clock's ->mult is changed.
However, timekeeping_apply_adjustment() is also invoked for the
on-off-controlled adjustments made to the mono clock's ->mult from
timekeeping_adjust(). These adjustments are very small in magnitude and,
more importantly, exhibit some oscillatory behaviour once the NTP error
becomes small. We don't want the clockevent devices' ->mult values to
follow these oscillations because they're negligible and because the
process of updating them would periodically destroy what
clockevents_increase_min_delta() might have built up.
