[PATCH] sched: implement cpu_clock(cpu) high-speed time source

Implement the cpu_clock(cpu) interface for kernel-internal use:
high-speed (but slightly incorrect) per-cpu clock constructed from
sched_clock().

This API, unused at the moment, will be used in the future by blktrace,
by the softlockup-watchdog, by printk and by lockstat.
