RFC: [PATCH] clocksource: tcb: fix min_delta calculation

The commit

    77cc982 clocksource: use clockevents_config_and_register() where possible

switches from manually calculating min_delta_ns (and others) and
clockevents_register_device() to automatic calculation via
clockevents_config_and_register(). During this conversation the "+ 1" in

    min_delta_ns = clockevent_delta2ns(1, &clkevt.clkevt) + 1;

was lost. This leads to problems with schedule_delayed_work() with a delay of
"1". Resulting in the work not scheduled in time.

This patch fixes the problem by increasing the min_delta to "2" ticks.
