Peter Zijlstra fb7d4948c4 sched/clock: Provide local_clock_noinstr()
Now that all ARCH_WANTS_NO_INSTR architectures (arm64, loongarch,
s390, x86) provide sched_clock_noinstr(), use this to provide
local_clock_noinstr().

This local_clock_noinstr() will be safe to use from noinstr code with
the assumption that any such noinstr code is non-preemptible (it had
better be, entry code will have IRQs disabled while __cpuidle must
have preemption disabled).

Specifically, preempt_enable_notrace(), a common part of many a
sched_clock() implementation calls out to schedule() -- even though,
per the above, it will never trigger -- which frustrates noinstr
validation.

  vmlinux.o: warning: objtool: local_clock+0xb5: call to preempt_schedule_notrace_thunk() leaves .noinstr.text section
