timekeeping: Warning when persistent clock is not available

On arches with no persistent clock a message like this is printed during
boot:

[ 0.000000] Persistent clock returned invalid value

The value is not invalid: it simply zero meaning no persistent clock and
the absence of persistent clock should be quietly accepted.
