x86/init: Initialize wall clock in get_rtc_noop()

get_rtc_noop() is used when an RTC is unavailable, but leaves its output
argument untouched. When CONFIG_INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is not enabled,
timekeeping_init() may therefore receive a nonzero invalid persistent
clock value and warn:

  "Persistent clock returned invalid value"

Initialize the output to zero, the documented representation of an
unsupported persistent clock.
