Indeed, this was done in the original version of the patch that I acked.

gen_pool_virt_to_phys() will not fail as the chunk is allocated just
before so it will necessarily be found in the list.

We need to reintroduce a check for slow_clock != NULL before fncpy()
since it is moved out of its original if block.
