[PATCH] input: use PIT_TICK_RATE in vt beep ioctl

[Arnd Bergmann <arnd@arndb.de>]

The KIOCSOUND and KDMKTONE ioctls are based on the
CLOCK_TICK_RATE, which is architecture and sometimes
configuration specific.

In practice, most user applications assume that it
is actually defined as the i8253 PIT base clock of
1193182 Hz, which is true on some architectures
but not on others.

This patch makes the vt code use the PIT frequency
on all architectures, which is much more well-defined.
It will change the behavior of user applications
sending the beep ioctl on all architectures that
define CLOCK_TICK_RATE different from PIT_TICK_RATE.

Hopefully, this change will make the frequency correct
in more cases than it will make it incorrect.

This patch depends on "move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.h"
in order to build on architectures that previously did not
define PIT_TICK_RATE.
