[RFC PATCH 08/23] x86/hpet: Calculate ticks-per-second in a separate function

[Ricardo Neri <ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com>]

It is easier to compute the expiration times of an HPET timer by using
its frequency (i.e., the number of times it ticks in a second) than its
period, as given in the capabilities register.

In addition to the HPET char driver, the HPET-based hardlockup detector
will also need to know the timer's frequency. Thus, create a common
function that both can use.
