Subject: [PATCH 1/3 v12] time: Make fast functions return 0 before timekeeping is initialized

printk timestamps will be extended to include mono and boot time by using
the fast timekeeping functions ktime_get_mono|boot_fast_ns() functions.
The functions can return garbage before timekeeping is initialized
resulting in garbage timestamps.

The fast time functions must return 0 before timekeeping is initialized.

[v12]: Remove typecast.
