clocksource: Defer override invalidation unless clock is unstable
Clocksources don't get the VALID_FOR_HRES flag until they have been checked by a watchdog. However, when using an override, the clocksource_select logic will clear the override value if the clocksource is not marked VALID_FOR_HRES during that inititial check. When using the boot arguments clocksource=<foo>, this selection can run before the watchdog, and can cause the override to be incorrectly cleared. To address this condition, the override_name is only invalidated for unstable clocksources. Otherwise, the override is left intact until after the watchdog has validated the clocksource as stable/unstable.
