clocksource: Make clocksource watchdog test safe for slow-HZ systems
The clocksource watchdog test sets a local JIFFIES_SHIFT macro and assumes that HZ is >= 100. For smaller HZ values this shift value is too large and causes undefined behaviour. Move the HZ-based definitions of JIFFIES_SHIFT from kernel/time/jiffies.c to kernel/time/tick-internal.h so the clocksource watchdog test can utilize them, which makes it work correctly with all HZ values.

-/* Since jiffies uses a simple TICK_NSEC multiplier
- * conversion, the .shift value could be zero. However
- * this would make NTP adjustments impossible as they are
- * in units of 1/2^.shift. Thus we use JIFFIES_SHIFT to
- * shift both the nominator and denominator the same
- * amount, and give ntp adjustments in units of 1/2^8
- *
- * The value 8 is somewhat carefully chosen, as anything
- * larger can result in overflows. TICK_NSEC grows as HZ
- * shrinks, so values greater than 8 overflow 32bits when
- * HZ=100.
