timers, sched/clock: Avoid deadlock during read from NMI

Currently it is possible for an NMI (or FIQ on ARM) to come in
and read sched_clock() whilst update_sched_clock() has locked
the seqcount for writing. This results in the NMI handler
locking up when it calls raw_read_seqcount_begin().

This patch fixes the NMI safety issues by providing banked clock
data. This is a similar approach to the one used in Thomas
Gleixner's 4396e058c52e("timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe
access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC").
