Currently, clocksource_register() and __clocksource_register_scale()
functions always return 0, it's pointless, make functions void.
And remove the dead code that check the clocksource_register_hz()
return value.

Well, do we really want to change all these files to not take care of a return
value ? What about is we have to check it again later ?

I would recommend to investigate __clocksource_register_scale and the
underneath functions if there is not an error to be returned in the call stack
somewhere which is ignored today.

The same applies for clocksource_register.

There is really no point in making it fail. It's so low level that
anything more than a proper printk/BUG/WARN is overkill.

Thanks,
