clocksource: Let timekeeping_notify return success/error
timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the current one. Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be shown correctly in sysfs.
