[PATCH v3 1/2] time: Add the common weak version of update_persistent_clock()

[Xunlei Pang]

From: Xunlei Pang <pang.xunlei@xxxxxxxxxx>

The weak update_persistent_clock64() calls update_persistent_clock(),
if the architecture defines an update_persistent_clock64() to replace
and remove its update_persistent_clock() version, when building the
kernel the linker will throw an undefined symbol error, that is, any
arch that switches to update_persistent_clock64() will have this issue.

To solve the issue, we add the common weak update_persistent_clock().
