UPSTREAM: timekeeping: Add a fast and NMI safe boot clock

This boot clock can be used as a tracing clock and will account for
suspend time.

To keep it NMI safe since we're accessing from tracing, we're not using a
separate timekeeper with updates to monotonic clock and boot offset
protected with seqlocks. This has the following minor side effects:

(1) Its possible that a timestamp be taken after the boot offset is updated
but before the timekeeper is updated. If this happens, the new boot offset
is added to the old timekeeping making the clock appear to update slightly
earlier:
   CPU 0                                        CPU 1
   timekeeping_inject_sleeptime64()
   __timekeeping_inject_sleeptime(tk, delta);
                                                timestamp();
   timekeeping_update(tk, TK_CLEAR_NTP...);

(2) On 32-bit systems, the 64-bit boot offset (tk->offs_boot) may be
partially updated.  Since the tk->offs_boot update is a rare event, this
should be a rare occurrence which postprocessing should be able to handle.
