get_device_system_crosststamp() accepts AUX clock IDs even when the
corresponding timekeeper is disabled. A never-enabled AUX timekeeper
has no initialized clocksource, and a previously enabled one can
retain stale timekeeping data.

Return -ENODEV before calling the device timestamp callback when the
selected timekeeper is invalid.

Fixes: 9aebde8af6fe ("timekeeping: Add support for AUX clock cross timestamping")
