Subject: [PATCH v5 3/6] timekeeper: use the extended reading function on snapshot acquiring

Make use of the extended reading function on time snapshot getting:
get raw cycles value if extended function is defined.
The raw cycles value then is used for KVM masterclock.

This is a part of the work aiming to move to a more simple scheme of
masterclock related values calculation in KVM
