[PATCH 1/3] timekeeping: NMI safe converter from a given time to monotonic

From: Kan Liang <kan.liang@linux.intel.com>

It's useful to provide a NMI safe function to convert a given time to
monotonic. For example, the perf_event subsystem wants to convert a TSC
of a PEBS record to a monotonic clock in a NMI handler.

Considered the below two existing functions, but none of them fulfill
the above requirements.
- The ktime_get_mono_fast_ns() is NMI safe, but it can only return the
current clock monotonic rather than a given time's monotonic.
- The get_device_system_crosststamp() can calculate the system time from
a given device time. But it's not fast and NMI safe.

The new function is a combination of the two existing functions. Use the
tk_fast_mono timekeeper to make the new function fast and NMI safe. Use
the get_time_fn callback to retrieve the given timestamp and its
clocksource. The history is not supported, since the perf case doesn't
really need it. It can be added later once there is a use case.
