Subject: [PATCH 1/4] time: add ktime_get_cycles64() api

add a method to retrieve raw cycles in the same fashion as there are
ktime_get_* methods available for supported time-bases. The method
continues using the 'struct timespec64' since the UAPI uses 'struct
ptp_clock_time'.

The caller can perform operation equivalent of timespec64_to_ns() to
retrieve raw-cycles value. The precision loss because of this conversion
should be none for 64 bit cycle counters and nominal at 96 bit counters
(considering UAPI of s64 + u32 of 'struct ptp_clock_time).
