This patch breaks tkr_raw pretty badly. It is now accumulating 2x faster
than tkr_mono, with the occasional wacky jump between two reads.

e.g:

@@ -838,6 +840,11 @@ ktime_t ktime_get_raw(void)

} while (read_seqcount_retry(&tk_core.seq, seq));

+ pr_err("%s: raw.base=%llu, mono.base=%llu: nsecs=%llu, mono.nsecs=%llu\n",
+ __func__,
+ ktime_to_ns(base), ktime_to_ns(tk->tkr_mono.base),
+ nsecs, timekeeping_get_ns(&tk->tkr_mono));
+

gave
ktime_get_raw: raw.base=40255680121, mono.base=39940532364: nsecs=261321742, mono.nsecs=318630514
ktime_get_raw: raw.base=40339680124, mono.base=39940532364: nsecs=345836800, mono.nsecs=403109209

The patch still reverts cleanly and aiui was not part of the bugfixes,
but a cleanup afterwards; so can be reapplied at leisure.
