As noted in a comment, use of the TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG kconfig
option is prohibited when HZ is less than 100 in order to avoid signed
integer overflow.  However, comments can easily be ignored even when they
are actually read.  Therefore, add a "depends" clause to prohibit use
of the TEST_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG kconfig option when HZ is less than 100.
