[PATCH] Fix faulty HPET clocksource usage (fix for bug #7062)

Apparently some systems export valid HPET addresses, but hpet_enable()
fails.  Then when the HPET clocksource starts up, it only checks for a
valid HPET address, and the result is a system where time does not advance.

See http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7062 for details.

This patch just makes sure we better check that the HPET is functional
before registering the HPET clocksource.
