ia64: fix clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) to report ITC frequency
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tp) is very precise on ia64 as it uses ITC (similar to rdtsc on x86). It's not quite a hrtimer as it is a few times slower than 1ns. Usually 2-3ns. clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) never reflected that fact and reported 0.04s precision (1/HZ value). In https://bugs.gentoo.org/596382 gstreamer's test suite failed loudly when it noticed precision discrepancy. Before the change: clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reported 250Hz precision. After the change: clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reports ITC (400Mhz) precision. The patch is based on matoro's fix. I added a bit of explanation why we need to special-case arch-specific clock_getres().
