clockevents: Manage device's state separately for the core
'enum clock_event_mode' is used for two purposes today: - to pass mode to the driver of clockevent device::set_mode(). - for managing state of the device for clockevents core. For supporting new modes/states we have moved away from the legacy set_mode() callback to new per-mode/state callbacks. New modes/states shouldn't be exposed to the legacy (now OBSOLOTE) callbacks and so we shouldn't add new states to 'enum clock_event_mode'. Lets have separate enums for the two use cases mentioned above. Keep using the earlier enum for legacy set_mode() callback and mark it OBSOLETE. And add another enum to clearly specify the possible states of a clockevent device. This also renames the newly added per-mode callbacks to reflect state changes. We haven't got rid of 'mode' member of 'struct clock_event_device' as it is used by some of the clockevent drivers and it would automatically die down once we migrate those drivers to the new interface. It ('mode') is only updated now for the drivers using the legacy interface.
