Currently it is possible for an NMI (or FIQ on ARM) to come in and read sched_clock() whilst update_sched_clock() has locked the seqcount for writing. This results in the NMI handler locking up when it calls raw_read_seqcount_begin(). This patch fixes the NMI safety issues by providing banked clock data. This is a similar approach to the one used in Thomas Gleixner's 4396e058c52e("timekeeping: Provide fast and NMI safe access to CLOCK_MONOTONIC").
