[PATCH] clocksource: really use a margin of 12.5% to limit deferment

[Uwe Kleine-KÃnig]

< ukleinek> tglx: the last comment in clocksource_max_deferment is wrong I
            think.  Unless I'm mistaken the margin is only 2^-5, not 2^-3
< ukleinek> i.e. 3.125%, not 12.5%
...
< tglx> crap, the 3.125% is a bit narrow

So fix the code to really do what the comment specifies.
