[PATCH v2 1/3] time/sched_clock: Add new variant sched_clock_register_epoch()

[Leo Yan <leo.yan@linaro.org>]

Except the sched clock's raw counter is used by sched clock itself, it
also can be used by other purposes in the same system, e.g. the raw
counter can be injected into hardware tracing data (like Arm's SPE) and
Perf tool can capture trace data and extract the raw counter from it
which finally can be used to generate timestamp.

Perf tool needs a way to convert sched clock's raw counter cycles into a
nanosecond that can be compared against values coming out of sched_clock.

To do this accurately, this patch adds a new variant API
sched_clock_register_epoch() with introducing an extra argument
'epoch_offset', as its naming indicates, this argument contains the
offset time (in nanosecond) for the clock source has been enabled prior
to epoch.
