Thomas Gleixner 5b605dbee0 timekeeping: Provide ktime_get_clock_ts64() ...

PTP implements an inline switch case for taking timestamps from various
POSIX clock IDs, which already consumes quite some text space. Expanding it
for auxiliary clocks really becomes too big for inlining.

Provide a out of line version. 

The function invalidates the timestamp in case the clock is invalid. The
invalidation allows to implement a validation check without the need to
propagate a return value through deep existing call chains.

Due to merge logistics this temporarily defines CLOCK_AUX[_LAST] if
undefined, so that the plain branch, which does not contain any of the core
timekeeper changes, can be pulled into the networking tree as prerequisite
for the PTP side changes. These temporary defines are removed after that
branch is merged into the tip::timers/ptp branch. That way the result in
-next or upstream in the next merge window has zero dependencies.
