time: Fix clock->read(clock) race around clocksource changes

In tests, which excercise switching of clocksources, a NULL
pointer dereference can be observed on AMR64 platforms in the
clocksource read() function:

u64 clocksource_mmio_readl_down(struct clocksource *c)
{
	return ~(u64)readl_relaxed(to_mmio_clksrc(c)->reg) & c->mask;
}

This is called from the core timekeeping code via:

	cycle_now = tkr->read(tkr->clock);

tkr->read is the cached tkr->clock->read() function pointer.
When the clocksource is changed then tkr->clock and tkr->read
are updated sequentially. The code above results in a sequential
load operation of tkr->read and tkr->clock as well.

If the store to tkr->clock hits between the loads of tkr->read
and tkr->clock, then the old read() function is called with the
new clock pointer. As a consequence the read() function
dereferences a different data structure and the resulting 'reg'
pointer can point anywhere including NULL.

This problem was introduced when the timekeeping code was
switched over to use struct tk_read_base. Before that, it was
theoretically possible as well when the compiler decided to
reload clock in the code sequence:

     now = tk->clock->read(tk->clock);

Add a helper function which avoids the issue by reading
tk_read_base->clock once into a local variable clk and then issue
the read function via clk->read(clk). This guarantees that the
read() function always gets the proper clocksource pointer handed
in.

Since there is now no use for the tkr.read pointer, this patch
also removes it, and to address stopping the fast timekeeper
during suspend/resume, it introduces a dummy clocksource to use
rather then just a dummy read function.
