[PATCH 3/3] clockevents: Don't validate dev->mode against CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED for new interface

It was a requirement in the legacy interface that drivers must initialize ->mode
field to 'CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED'. This field isn't used anymore by the new
interface and so should be only checked for the legacy interface.

Probably it can be dropped as well as core doesn't rely on it anymore, but lets
keep it to support legacy interface.
