[PATCH v2 5/7] clocksource: Consistent de-rate when marking unstable

[Peter Zijlstra <peterz@infradead.org>]

[-- Attachment #1: peterz-tsc-early-fix-5.patch --]
[-- Type: text/plain, Size: 956 bytes --]

When a registered clocksource gets marked unstable the watchdog_kthread
will de-rate and re-select the clocksource. Ensure it also de-rates
when getting called on an unregistered clocksource.
