Subject: [PATCH v2 ] PM-runtime: fix deadlock with ktime

A deadlock has been seen when swicthing clocksources which use PM runtime.
The call path is:
change_clocksource
    ...
    write_seqcount_begin
    ...
    timekeeping_update
        ...
        sh_cmt_clocksource_enable
            ...
            rpm_resume
                pm_runtime_mark_last_busy
                    ktime_get
                        do
                            read_seqcount_begin
                        while read_seqcount_retry
    ....
    write_seqcount_end

Although we should be safe because we haven't yet changed the clocksource
at that time, we can't because of seqcount protection.

Use ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() instead which is lock safe for such case

With ktime_get_mono_fast_ns, the timestamp is not guaranteed to be
monotonic across an update and as a result can goes backward. According to
update_fast_timekeeper() description: "In the worst case, this can
result is a slightly wrong timestamp (a few nanoseconds)". For
PM runtime autosuspend, this means only that the suspend decision can
be slightly sub optimal.
