hrtimer: Catch illegal clockids
It is way too easy to take any random clockid and feed it to the hrtimer subsystem. At best, it gets mapped to a monotonic base, but it would be better to just catch illegal values as early as possible. This patch does exactly that, mapping illegal clockids to an illegal base index, and panicing when we detect the illegal condition.
