clocksource: Delay clocksource down rating to late boot
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The down rating of clock sources in the early boot process via the
clock source watchdog mechanism can happen way before the per cpu
event queues are initialized. This leads to a boot crash on x86 when
the TSC is marked unstable in the SMP bring up.

The selection of a clock source for time keeping happens in the late
boot process so we can safely delay the list manipulation until
clocksource_done_booting() is called.
