[PATCH 3/3] clocksource: fix can not set tsc as clocksource bug

From: Alex Shi
Date: Thu Jul 04 2013 - 01:36:13 EST


commit 5d33b883aed81c6fbcd09c6f7c3619eee850a7e2
clocksource: Always verify highres capability

This commit will reject a clock to be system clocksource if it has no
CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES flags. Then the tsc to be rejected as
clocksource, because this flag for tsc is set in clocksource_watchdog
which run after the tsc register.
TSC registered in tsc_refine_calibration_work() and started the watchdog
at that time.

This patch re-select the clocksource after we make sure the tsc has this
flag. Fixed this bug.
