Subject[PATCH] sched_clock: fix postinit no sched_clock function check
Date
The sched_clock code uses 2 levels of function pointers, sched_clock_func()
and read_sched_clock() but the no sched_clock check in postinit() just
checks read_sched_clock().

This leads to kernel falling back to jiffy based sched clock even in
presence of sched_clock_func() which is not desirable.

Fix the postinit() check to avoid the issue. Probably the issue is hidden
so far on most of the arm SOCs because of already existing sched_clock
registrations apart from arch_timer sched_clock. One can reproduce the
issue by just have arch_timer as sched_clock
