[patch 18/46] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper

[Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of
using hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic
verification mechanism. The verification uses the best available
clocksource and handles the usability for high resolution timers /
dynticks of the clocksource which needs to be verified.
