timekeeping: Rework timekeeping_suspend() to use shadow_timekeeper

Browse source

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.

While the sequence count held time is not relevant for the resume path as
there is no concurrency, there is no reason to have this function
different than all the other update sites.

Convert timekeeping_inject_offset() to use this scheme and cleanup the
variable declarations while at it.

As halt_fast_timekeeper() does not need protection sequence counter, it is
no problem to move it with this change outside of the sequence counter
protected area. But it still needs to be executed while holding the lock.
