x86/kvm, ptp/kvm: Add clocksource ID, set system_counterval_t.cs_id

Add a clocksource ID for the x86 kvmclock.

Also, for ptp_kvm, set the recently added struct system_counterval_t member
cs_id to the clocksource ID (x86 kvmclock or ARM Generic Timer). In the
future, get_device_system_crosststamp() will compare the clocksource ID in
struct system_counterval_t, rather than the clocksource.

For now, to avoid touching too many subsystems at once, extract the
clocksource ID from the clocksource. The clocksource dereference will be
removed once everything is converted over..

x86/tsc: Add clocksource ID, set system_counterval_t.cs_id

Add a clocksource ID for TSC and a distinct one for the early TSC.

Use distinct IDs for TSC and early TSC, since those also have distinct
clocksource structs. This should help to keep existing semantics when
comparing clocksources.

Also, set the recently added struct system_counterval_t member cs_id to the
TSC ID in the cases where the clocksource member is being set to the TSC
clocksource. In the future, get_device_system_crosststamp() will compare
the clocksource ID in struct system_counterval_t, rather than the
clocksource.

For the x86 ART related code, system_counterval_t.cs == NULL corresponds to
system_counterval_t.cs_id == CSID_GENERIC (0).

clocksource: Add clocksource id for arm arch counter

Add clocksource id to the ARM generic counter so that it can be easily
identified from callers such as ptp_kvm.

time: Add mechanism to recognize clocksource in time_get_snapshot

System time snapshots are not conveying information about the current
clocksource which was used, but callers like the PTP KVM guest
implementation have the requirement to evaluate the clocksource type to
select the appropriate mechanism.

Introduce a clocksource id field in struct clocksource which is by default
set to CSID_GENERIC (0). Clocksource implementations can set that field to
a value which allows to identify the clocksource.

Store the clocksource id of the current clocksource in the
system_time_snapshot so callers can evaluate which clocksource was used to
take the snapshot and act accordingly.
