Subject: clockevents: Remove CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS_BUILD

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

commit 9f083b74df3a7eaa100b456f2dc195512daf728e upstream.

This option was for simpler migration to the clock events code.
Most architectures have been converted and the option has been
disfunctional as a standalone option for quite some time. Remove
it.
