timekeeping: Zero initialize system_counterval when querying time from phc drivers

Most drivers only populate the fields cycles and cs_id of system_counterval in their get_time_fn() callback for get_device_system_crosststamp(), unless they explicitly provide nanosecond values.

When the use_nsecs field was added to struct system_counterval, most drivers did not care. Clock sources other than CSID_GENERIC could then get converted in convert_base_to_cs() based on an uninitialized use_nsecs field, which usually results in -EINVAL during the following range check.

Pass in a fully zero initialized system_counterval_t to cure that.
