Subject: [PATCH] clockevents/drivers/cs5535: improve resilience to spurious
 interrupts

This solves a BUG on ALIX 2c3 where mfgpt_tick is called before
clockevents_config_and_register returns. This caused mfgpt_tick to call a
null function pointer.

Thanks to Daniel Lezcano and Thomas Gleixner for helping me analyze this
and suggesting a solution.
