clocksource, acpi_pm.c: check for monotonicity

The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports (
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the
current check only triggers in 50% of all cases, leading to catastrophic
timer behaviour.  To fix this issue, expand the check for monotonicity by
doing ten consecutive tests instead of one.
