4.16-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Peter Zijlstra <[email protected]>

commit cd2af07d823e5287cd6c91d54337348c2a873462 upstream.

When a registered clocksource gets marked unstable the watchdog_kthread
will de-rate and re-select the clocksource. Ensure it also de-rates
when getting called on an unregistered clocksource.
