[PATCH 09/12] clocksource: initialize list value

[Daniel Walker <dwalker@mvista.com>]

A change to clocksource initialization. If the list field is initialized 
it allows clocksource_register to complete faster since it doesn't have 
to scan the list of clocks doing strcmp on each looking for duplicates.
