[PATCH 2/4] clock: Update cs->cycle_last when switching clock

If clocksource is free-running it might have been running for a while
before barebox started, we only care about the time spent in barebox.
We can discard the cycles accumulated before switching clocks by
updating cs->cycle_last with the cycles read for the new clock right
before switching.
