timekeeping: Add struct tk_data as argument to timekeeping_update()
Updates of the timekeeper are done in two ways: 1. Updating timekeeper and afterwards memcpy()'ing the result into shadow_timekeeper using timekeeping_update(). Used everywhere for updates except in timekeeping_advance(); the sequence counter protected region starts before the first change to the timekeeper is done. 2. Updating shadow_timekeeper and then memcpy()'ing the result into timekeeper. Used only by in timekeeping_advance(); The seqence counter protected region is only around timekeeping_update() and the memcpy for copy from shadow to timekeeper. The second option is fast path optimized. The sequence counter protected region is as short as possible. As this behaviour is mainly documented by commit messages, but not in code, it makes the not easy timekeeping code more complicated to read. There is no reason why updates to the timekeeper can't use the optimized version everywhere. With this, the code will be cleaner, as code is reused instead of duplicated. To be able to access tk_data which contains all required information, add a pointer to tk_data as an argument to timekeeping_update(). With that convert the comment about holding the lock into a lockdep assert. No functional change.
