[patch 04/15] cleanup clocksource selection

[Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: clocksource-select.diff --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 10654 bytes --]

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

If a non high-resolution clocksource is first set as override clock
and then registered it becomes active even if the system is in
on-shot mode. Move the override check from sysfs_override_clocksource
to the clocksource selection. That fixes the bug and simplifies the
code. The check in clocksource_register for double registration of
the same clocksource is removed without replacement.

To find the initial clocksource a new weak function in jiffies.c is
defined that returns the jiffies clocksource. The architecture code
can then override the weak function with a more suitable clocksource,
e.g. the TOD clock on s390.
