[0/2] Drivers: hv: Move Hyper-V clock/timer code to separate clocksource driver

Message

This patch series moves Hyper-V clock/timer code to a separate Hyper-V
clocksource driver. Previously, Hyper-V clock/timer code and data
structures were mixed in with other Hyper-V code in the ISA independent
drivers/hv code as well as in arch dependent code. The new Hyper-V
clocksource driver is ISA independent, with a just few dependencies on
arch specific functions. The patch series does not change any behavior
or functionality -- it only reorganizes the existing code and fixes up
the linkages. A few places outside of Hyper-V code are fixed up to use
the new #include file structure.

This restructuring is in response to Marc Zyngier's review comments
on supporting Hyper-V running on ARM64, and is a good idea in general.
It increases the amount of code shared between the x86 and ARM64
architectures, and reduces the size of the new code for supporting
Hyper-V on ARM64. A new version of the Hyper-V on ARM64 patches will
follow once this clocksource restructuring is accepted.

The code is currently diff'ed against Linux 5.0.  I'll rebase
to linux-next once 5.1-rc1 is available.

Hmmm.  Not identical.  The first patch is "clockevents" code, and the second
patch is "clocksource" code.

Wow, that's not obvious at all, sorry.  You still might want to make it
a bit more different :)
