timekeeping: optimized ktime_get[_ts] for GENERIC_TIME=y

The generic ktime_get function defined in kernel/hrtimer.c is suboptimial
for GENERIC_TIME=y:

0) | ktime_get() {
0) | ktime_get_ts() {
0) | getnstimeofday() {
0) | read_tod_clock() {
0) 0.601 us | }
0) 1.938 us | }
0) | set_normalized_timespec() {
0) 0.602 us | }
0) 4.375 us | }
0) 5.523 us | }

Overall there are two read_seqbegin/read_seqretry loops and a lot of
unnecessary struct timespec calculations. ktime_get returns a nano second
value which is the sum of xtime, wall_to_monotonic and the nano second
delta from the clock source.

ktime_get can be optimized for GENERIC_TIME=y. The new version only calls
clocksource_read:

0) | ktime_get() {
0) | read_tod_clock() {
0) 0.610 us | }
0) 1.977 us | }

It uses a single read_seqbegin/readseqretry loop and just adds everthing
to a nano second value.

ktime_get_ts is optimized in a similar fashion.

[ tglx: added WARN_ON(timekeeping_suspended) as in getnstimeofday() ]
