timekeeping: Increase granularity of read_persistent_clock()
The persistent clock of some architectures (e.g. s390) have a
better granularity than seconds. To reduce the delta between the
host clock and the guest clock in a virtualized system change the 
read_persistent_clock function to return a struct timespec.
