[PATCH v2 24/38] timekeeping: Resume clocksources before reading persistent clock

[Sean Christopherson]

When resuming timekeeping after suspend, restore clocksources prior to
reading the persistent clock.  Paravirt clocks, e.g. kvmclock, tie the
validity of a PV persistent clock to a clocksource, i.e. reading the PV
persistent clock will return garbage if the underlying PV clocksource
hasn't been enabled.  The flaw has gone unnoticed because kvmclock is a
mess and uses its own suspend/resume hooks instead of the clocksource
suspend/resume hooks, which happens to work by sheer dumb luck (the
kvmclock resume hook runs before timekeeping_resume()).

Note, there is no evidence that any clocksource supported by the kernel
depends on a persistent clock.
