timekeeping: Lift clocksource cacheline restriction
We cache all hotpath members of a clocksource in the time keeper core. So there is no requirement in general to cache line align struct clocksource. Remove the enforces alignment. That allows users which need to wrap struct clocksource into their own struct to align the struct without getting extra padding.
