hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
The KVM/ARM timer implementation arms a hrtimer when a vcpu is blocked (usually because it is waiting for an interrupt) while its timer is going to kick in the future. It is essential that this timer doesn't get adjusted, or the guest will end up being woken-up at the wrong time (NTP running on the host seems to confuse the hell out of some guests). In order to allow this, let's add CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support to hrtimer (it is so far only supported for posix timers). It also has the (limited) benefit of fixing de0421d5 ("mac80211_hwsim: shuffle code to prepare for dynamic radios"), which already uses this functionnality without realizing wasn't implemented (just being lucky...).
