This moves the clocksource_set_clock() and clockevent_set_clock()

Pettersson duplicating this code for the IOP ARM system. The
function signatures where altered slightly to fit into their
destination header files, unsigned int changed to u32 and inlined.

Ralf has stated in earlier conversation that this should be moved,
now we risk duplicating code so let's move it.
Please do not make that functions inline. They are too large and there
is no benefit of inlining them.
If that is the case, then perhaps they should not be defined in a header
file.
IMHO if you are defining a function in a header file it should always be
'static inline'. If you don't want it in-lined, put it in some
library so we only pick up a single instance of it.
