Magnus Damm 8e19608e8b clocksource: pass clocksource to read() callback
Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.

* this would make NTP adjustments impossible as they are
* in units of 1/2^.shift. Thus we use JIFFIES_SHIFT to
* shift both the nominator and denominator the same
* amount, and give ntp adjustments in units of 1/2^8
*
* The value 8 is somewhat carefully chosen, as anything
* larger can result in overflows. NSEC_PER_JIFFY grows as
* HZ shrinks, so values greater than 8 overflow 32bits when
