Subject: [PATCH 099/135] Drivers: hv: vmbus: don't manipulate with
 clocksources on crash

[ Upstream commit 3ccb4fd8f492f99aece21acc1bd6142275f26236 ]

clocksource_change_rating() involves mutex usage and can't be called
in interrupt context. It also makes sense to avoid doing redundant work
on crash.
