This patch fixes the clock refcounting when reparenting is used.

Sascha just pointed out a good explanation of refcounting here:

The clk==NULL check seem superfluous if WARN_ON(!clk->usecount) has already dereferenced clk (and possibly crashed). You might need two statements if its likely that clk could be NULL.
