john stultz 98de9e3ba2 [PATCH] fix jiffies clocksource inittime
In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark
the tsc as unstable before it is registered, the TSC would still be
selected and used for a short period of time.  Digging in it looks to be a
result of the mix of the clocksource list changes and my clocksource
initialization changes.

With the -rt tree, using a bad TSC, even for a short period of time can
results in a hang at boot.  I was not able to reproduce this hang w/
mainline, but I'm not completely certain that someone won't trip on it.

This patch resolves the issue by initializing the jiffies clocksource
earlier so a bad TSC won't get selected just because nothing else is yet
registered.
