clocksource: Let timekeeping_notify return success/error

timekeeping_notify() can fail due cs->enable() failure. Though the
caller does not notice and happily keeps the wrong clocksource as the
current one.

Let the caller know about failure, so the current clocksource will be
shown correctly in sysfs.
