timekeeping: Move shadow_timekeeper into tk_core

tk_core requires shadow_timekeeper to allow timekeeping_advance() updating
without holding the timekeeper sequence count write locked. This allows the
readers to make progress up to the actual update where the shadow
timekeeper is copied over to the real timekeeper.

As long as there is only a single timekeeper, having them separate is
fine. But when the timekeeper infrastructure will be reused for per ptp
clock timekeepers, shadow_timekeeper needs to be part of tk_core.

No functional change.
