Allow using jiffies/PIT as a watchdog reference as long as no better clocksource is available. This is necessary to detect TSC breakage on systems, which have no pmtimer/hpet. The main goal of the initial patch (preventing to switch to highres/nohz when no reliable fallback clocksource is available) is still guaranteed by the checks in clocksource_watchdog().
