posix clocks: Introduce dynamic clocks

This patch adds support for adding and removing posix clocks. The
clock lifetime cycle is patterned after usb devices. Each clock is
represented by a standard character device. In addition, the driver
may optionally implement custom character device operations.

The posix clock and timer system calls listed below now work with
dynamic posix clocks, as well as the traditional static clocks.
The following system calls are affected:

   - clock_adjtime (brand new syscall)
   - clock_gettime
   - clock_getres
   - clock_settime
   - timer_create
   - timer_delete
   - timer_gettime
   - timer_settime

[ tglx: Adapted to the posix-timer cleanup. Moved clock_posix_dynamic
  	to posix-clock.c and made all referenced functions static ]
