File descriptor based pc_clock_*() operations of dynamic posix clocks have access to the file pointer and implement permission checks in the generic code before invoking the relevant dynamic clock callback. Character device operations (open, read, poll, ioctl) do not implement a generic permission control and the dynamic clock callbacks have no access to the file pointer to implement them. Extend struct posix_clock_context with a struct file pointer and initialize it in posix_clock_open(), so that all dynamic clock callbacks can access it.
