In case the HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK config is set, the cpu_clock() version
checks if sched_clock_stable() is not set and calls sched_clock_cpu(),
otherwise it calls sched_clock().

sched_clock_cpu() checks also if sched_clock_stable() is set and, if true,
calls sched_clock().

sched_clock() will be called in sched_clock_cpu() if sched_clock_stable() is
true.

Remove the duplicate test by directly calling sched_clock_cpu() and let the
static key act in this function instead. We can assume gcc is smart enough to
inline cpu_clock()/local_clock() to sched_clock_cpu().

Actually, no. They are not inlined.

With this patch we end up with one line functions:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK

u64 cpu_clock(int cpu)
{
	return sched_clock_cpu(cpu);
}

u64 local_clock(void)
{
	return sched_clock_cpu(raw_smp_processor_id());
}

#else

u64 cpu_clock(int cpu)
{
	return sched_clock();
}

u64 local_clock(void)
{
	return sched_clock();
}

#endif

is it worth to convert them to static inline function ?

(static inline does effectively inline those functions).
