[PATCH 17/24] timekeeping: Rework change_clocksource() to use shadow_timekeeper

[Anna-Maria Behnsen]

Updates of the timekeeper can be done by operating on the shadow timekeeper
and afterwards copying the result into the real timekeeper. This has the
advantage, that the sequence count write protected region is kept as small
as possible.

Convert change_clocksource() to use this scheme.
