[GIT PULL clocksource] Clocksource watchdog commits for v5.14

[Paul E. McKenney]

Hello, Thomas,

This pull request contains changes to cause the clocksource watchdog to
reject measurement noise caused by delays between clocksource reads.
These have been posted a few times to LKML, most recently v15:

https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20210527190042.GA438700@paulmck-ThinkPad-P17-Gen-1/

These have been acked by Feng Tang and reviewed by Luming Yu.  These have
also been subjected to subjected to the kbuild test robot and -next
testing, and are available in the git repository based on v5.13-rc1 at:

  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu.git clocksource

----------------------------------------------------------------
Feng Tang (1):
      clocksource: Print deviation in nanoseconds for unstable case

Paul E. McKenney (5):
