Peter Zijlstra e2c631ba75 clocksource: Revert "Remove kthread"
I turns out that the silly spawn kthread from worker was actually needed.

clocksource_watchdog_kthread() cannot be called directly from
clocksource_watchdog_work(), because clocksource_select() calls
timekeeping_notify() which uses stop_machine(). One cannot use
stop_machine() from a workqueue() due lock inversions wrt CPU hotplug.

Revert the patch but add a comment that explain why we jump through such
apparently silly hoops.
