posix-clocks: Introduce clock_get_ktime() callback
The callsite in common_timer_get() has already a comment:
/*
* The timespec64 based conversion is suboptimal, but it's not
* worth to implement yet another callback.
*/
kc->clock_get(timr->it_clock, &ts64);
now = timespec64_to_ktime(ts64);
The upcoming support for time namespaces requires to have access to:
- The time in a task's time namespace for sys_clock_gettime()
- The time in the root name space for common_timer_get()
That adds a valid reason to finally implement a separate callback which
returns the time in ktime_t format.
