x86/kvmclock: Implement read_snapshot() for kvmclock clocksource

Browse source

Implement the read_snapshot() callback for the kvmclock clocksource.  This
returns the kvmclock nanosecond value (for timekeeping) while also
providing the raw TSC value that was used to compute it.

The TSC is read inside the pvclock seqlock-protected region, ensuring the
raw TSC and derived kvmclock value are atomically paired.

This enables ktime_get_snapshot_id() to provide the raw TSC to consumers
like the vmclock PTP driver, which currently has to do a separate call to
get_cycles() to obtain a value at *approximately* the same time, to feed
through the vmclock calculation.
