clocksource: Protect the watchdog rating changes with clocksource_mutex
Martin pointed out that commit 6ea41d2529 (clocksource: Call
clocksource_change_rating() outside of watchdog_lock) has a
theoretical reference count problem. The calls to
clocksource_change_rating() are now done outside of the clocksource
mutex and outside of the watchdog lock. A concurrent
clocksource_unregister() could remove the clock.
Split out the code which changes the rating from
clocksource_change_rating() into __clocksource_change_rating().
Protect the clocksource_watchdog_work() code sequence with the
clocksource_mutex() and call __clocksource_change_rating().
