clocksource: sanity check sysfs clocksource changes
Thomas, Andrew and Ingo pointed out that we don't have any safety checks in the clocksource sysfs entries to make sure sysadmins don't try to change the clocksource to a non high-res timer capable clocksource (such as jiffies) when high-res timers (HRT) is enabled. Doing so will likely hang a system. Correct this by filtering non HRT clocksources from available_clocksources and not accepting non HRT clocksources with HRT enabled.
