clocksource: Consistent de-rate when marking unstable

Peter Zijlstra · KAGA-KOKO · commit cd2af07d823e · 2018-05-02T16:10:41.000+02:00
When a registered clocksource gets marked unstable the watchdog_kthread will de-rate and re-select the clocksource. Ensure it also de-rates when getting called on an unregistered clocksource.
