[PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper

The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource.  Instead of using
hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification
mechanism.  The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles
the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which
needs to be verified.
