timekeeping: Let timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() handle both under and ove…

…rflow

For the case !CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_VALIDATE_LAST_CYCLE, forego overflow
protection in the range (mask << 1) < delta <= mask, and interpret it
always as an inconsistency between CPU clock values. That allows
slightly neater code, and it is on a slow path so has no effect on
performance.
