[RFC v4 11/22] clockevents: always initialize ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns

[Nicolai Stange]

Now that all clockevent drivers set ->min_delta_ticks and ->max_delta_ticks
independently of whether they use clockevents_config*() or not, the
clockevent core can calculate ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from these
unconditionally.

The goal is to prepare the clockevent core for introducing NTP rate
correction awareness: as the clockevent devices' rates will get adjusted,
the ->*_delta_ns won't stay fixed but need to get changed as well.

Thus, make the clockevent core calculate the ->*_delta_ns values from
the invariant ->_delta_ticks ones at device registration.

In order to facilitate this, move the corresponding code from
clockevents_config() into its own helper function,
__clockevents_update_bounds() and invoke this where needed, in
particular from clockevents_register_device().

Note that there is a side effect affecting those drivers
- not using clockevents_config*()
- and manually initializing their ->min_delta_ns to values less than 1us.
In order to avoid "pointless noise", the clockevent core always sets
->min_delta_ns to values >= 1us, and thus, those drivers' ->min_delta_ns
is now increased. I think that this side effect is desired though.
