Sorry, that's still wrong. Because the moment you enable
sched_clock_running we need to have everything set-up for it to run.

The above looks double weird because you could've just done that =1
under the same IRQ-disable section and it would've mostly been OK
(except for NMIs). But the reason it's weird like that is because you're
going to change it into a static key later on.

The below cures things.

Subject: sched/clock: Close a hole in sched_clock_init()

All data required for the 'unstable' sched_clock must be set-up _before_
enabling it -- setting sched_clock_running. This includes the
__gtod_offset but also a recent scd stamp.

Make the gtod-offset update also set the csd stamp -- it requires the
same two clock reads _anyway_. This doesn't hurt in the
sched_clock_tick_stable() case and ensures sched_clock_init() gets
everything set-up before use.

Also switch to unconditional IRQ-disable/enable because the static key
stuff already requires this is not ran with IRQs disabled.
