[PATCH MANUALSEL 4.9 1/3] time/sched_clock: Round the frequency reported to nearest rather than down

[ Upstream commit 92067440f1311dfa4d77b57a9da6b3706f5da32e ]

The frequency reported for clock sources are rounded down, which gives
misleading figures, e.g.:

I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999480Hz
sched_clock: 32 bits at 24MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85901132779ns
MIPS counter frequency 59998512Hz
sched_clock: 32 bits at 59MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35792281591ns

Rounding to nearest is more adequate:

I/O ASIC clock frequency 24999664Hz
sched_clock: 32 bits at 25MHz, resolution 40ns, wraps every 85900499947ns
MIPS counter frequency 59999728Hz
sched_clock: 32 bits at 60MHz, resolution 16ns, wraps every 35791556599ns
