clk: avoid circular clock topology
Currently, clk_register() never checks a circular parent looping,
but clock providers could register such an insane clock topology.
For example, "clk_a" could have "clk_b" as a parent, and vice versa.
In this case, clk_core_reparent() creates a circular parent list
and __clk_recalc_accuracies() calls itself recursively forever.
The core infrastructure should be kind enough to bail out, showing
an appropriate error message in such a case. This helps to easily
find a bug in clock providers. (uh, I made such a silly mistake
when I was implementing my clock providers first. I was upset
because the kernel did not respond, without any error message.)
This commit adds a new helper function, __clk_is_ancestor(). It
returns true if the second argument is a possible ancestor of the
first one. If a clock core is a possible ancestor of itself, it
would make a loop when it were registered. That should be detected
as an error.
