Add a helper function for the multiple places this is used. Note that it
must not be called in preemptible context, as that would mean the kernel
could enter software suspend state, which would cause non-atomic operation
of the monotonic_to_bootbased computation.
Open question: should the KVM_SET_CLOCK / KVM_GET_CLOCK ioctls use this
as well? Currently, they are not bootbased (but perhaps should be).

Isn't something like this a candidate for the time infrastructure?
