[ Upstream commit c163e40af9b2331b2c629fd4ec8b703ed4d4ae39 ]
clocksource_delta() has two variants. One with a check for negative motion, which is only selected by x86. This is a historic leftover as this function was previously used in the time getter hot paths.
Since 135225a363ae timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() has unconditional protection against this as a by-product of the protection against 64bit math overflow.
clocksource_delta() is only used in the clocksource watchdog and in timekeeping_advance(). The extra conditional there is not hurting anyone.
Remove the config option and unconditionally prevent negative motion of the readout.
