clockevents: Sanitize min_delta_ns adjustment and prevent overflows

The current logic which handles clock events programming failures can
increase min_delta_ns unlimited and even can cause overflows.

Sanitize it by:
 - prevent zero increase when min_delta_ns == 1
 - limiting min_delta_ns to a jiffie
 - bail out if the jiffie limit is hit
 - add retries stats for /proc/timer_list so we can gather data
