[PATCH v5 6/7] xen/arm: set the system time in Xen via the XENPF_settime64 hypercall

If Linux is running as dom0, call XENPF_settime64 to update the system
time in Xen on pvclock_gtod notifications.

Changes in v5:
- remove trailing whitespace
- remove unhelpful printk

Changes in v3:
- s/%llu.%0u/%llu.%09u
- in xen_pvclock_gtod_notify use the passed struct timekeeper pointer
  rather than calling __current_kernel_time64
- use the passed struct timekeeper pointer to get the system time too

Changes in v2:
- properly convert arch_timer ticker to nsec
- rename dom0_op to platform_op
- use timespec64 interfaces
- use XENPF_settime64
