clockevents: Add direct ktime programming function
There is at least one architecture (s390) with a sane clockevent device that can be programmed with the equivalent of a ktime. No need to create a delta against the current time, the ktime can be used directly. A new clock device function 'set_next_ktime' is introduced that is called with the unmodified ktime for the timer if the clock event device has the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_KTIME bit set.
