Slow clocksources can have a way longer sleep time than 5 seconds and
even fast ones can easily cope with 600 seconds and still maintain
proper accuracy.

Christian Hoffmann reported that the command line clocksource override
with acpi_pm timer fails:

 Kernel command line: &lt;SNIP&gt; clocksource=acpi_pm
 hpet clockevent registered
 Switching to clocksource hpet
 Override clocksource acpi_pm is not HRT compatible.
 Cannot switch while in HRT/NOHZ mode.

The watchdog code is what enables CLOCK_SOURCE_VALID_FOR_HRES, but we
actually end up selecting the clocksource before we enqueue it into
the watchdog list, so that's why we see the warning and fail to switch
to acpi_pm timer as requested. That's particularly bad when we want to
debug timekeeping related problems in early boot.

Put the selection call last.

The minsec argument to clocks_calc_mult_shift() is misnamed. It is used 
to clamp the magnitude of the mult factor so that a multiplication with 
any value in the given range won't overflow a 64 bit result.  Let's 
rename it to match the actual usage.

Russell King reports:
| On the ARM dev boards, we have a 32-bit counter running at 24MHz.  Calling
| clocks_calc_mult_shift(&amp;mult, &amp;shift, 24MHz, NSEC_PER_SEC, 60) gives
| us a multiplier of 2796202666 and a shift of 26.
|
| Over a large counter delta, this produces an error - lets take a count
| from 362976315 to 4280663372:
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202666 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
|  =&gt; -38.91872422891230269990
|
| Can we do better?
|
| (4280663372-362976315) * 2796202667 / 2^26 - (4280663372-362976315) * (1000/24)
| 19.45936211449532822051
|
| which is about twice as good as the 2796202666 multiplier.
|
| Looking at the equivalent divisions obtained, 2796202666 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666665673255920410ns per tick, whereas 2796202667 / 2^26 gives
| 41.66666667163372039794ns.  The actual value wanted is 1000/24 =
| 41.66666666666666666666ns.

Fix this by ensuring we round to nearest when calculating the
multiplier.
