[RFC v8 15/28] clockevents: use ->min_delta_ticks_adjusted to program minimum delta

[Nicolai Stange <nicstange@gmail.com>]

The use of a clockevent device's ->min_delta_ns in the event programming
path hinders upcoming changes to the clockevent core making it NTP
correction aware: both, ->mult and ->min_delta_ns would need to get
updated as well as consumed atomically and we'd rather like to avoid any
locking here.

We already have got ->min_delta_ticks_adjusted which
- resembles the value of ->min_delta_ns
- and is guaranteed to be always >= the hardware's hard limit
  ->min_delta_ticks and thus, can be used w/o locking as we don't care
  for small deviations.

In both implementations of clockevents_program_min_delta(),
don't calculate the event's deadline from ->min_delta_ns, but use its
drop-in replacement ->min_delta_ticks_adjusted.
