clocksource: Add generic dummy timer driver
Several architectures have a dummy timer driver tightly coupled with their broadcast code to support machines without cpu-local timers (or where there is a lack of driver support). Since 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function" it's been possible to write broadcast-capable timer drivers decoupled from the broadcast mechanism. We can use this functionality to implement a generic dummy timer driver that can be shared by all architectures with generic tick broadcast (ARCH_HAS_TICK_BROADCAST). This patch implements a generic dummy timer using this facility.
