ieee1394: cycle timer read extension for raw1394

This implements the simultaneous read of the isochronous cycle timer and
the system clock (in usecs).  This allows to express the exact receive
time of an ISO packet as a system time with microsecond accuracy.

The counterpart patch for libraw1394 can be found at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel.firewire.devel/8934

Patch update (Stefan R.):  Disable preemption and local interrupts.
Prevent integer overflow.  Add paranoid error checks and kerneldoc to
hpsb_read_cycle_timer.  Move it to other ieee1394_core high-level API
functions.  Change comments.  Adjust whitespace.  Rename struct
_raw1394_cycle_timer.
