Subject: [PATCH v2 clocksource 3/7] clocksource: Improve read-back-delay message
Date:   Tue, 24 Jan 2023 16:27:26 -0800

When cs_watchdog_read() is unable to get a qualifying clocksource read
within the limit set by max_cswd_read_retries, it prints a message
and marks the clocksource under test as unstable.  But that message is
unclear to anyone unfamiliar with the code:

clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: wd-tsc-wd read-back delay 1000614ns, attempt 3, marking unstable

Therefore, add some context so that the message appears as follows:

clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU13: wd-tsc-wd excessive read-back delay of 1000614ns vs. limit of 125000ns, wd-wd read-back delay only 27ns, attempt 3, marking tsc unstable
