timekeeping: Fix cross-timestamp interpolation corner case decision

Browse Source 
The cycle_between() helper checks if parameter test is in the open interval
(before, after). Colloquially speaking, this also applies to the counter
wrap-around special case before > after. get_device_system_crosststamp()
currently uses cycle_between() at the first call site to decide whether to
interpolate for older counter readings.

get_device_system_crosststamp() has the following problem with
cycle_between() testing against an open interval: Assume that, by chance,
cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last (in the following, "cycle_last" for
brevity). Then, cycle_between() at the first call site, with effective
argument values cycle_between(cycle_last, cycles, now), returns false,
enabling interpolation. During interpolation,
get_device_system_crosststamp() will then call cycle_between() at the
second call site (if a history_begin was supplied). The effective argument
values are cycle_between(history_begin->cycles, cycles, cycles), since
system_counterval.cycles == interval_start == cycles, per the assumption.
Due to the test against the open interval, cycle_between() returns false
again. This causes get_device_system_crosststamp() to return -EINVAL.

This failure should be avoided, since get_device_system_crosststamp() works
both when cycles follows cycle_last (no interpolation), and when cycles
precedes cycle_last (interpolation). For the case cycles == cycle_last,
interpolation is actually unneeded.

Fix this by changing cycle_between() into timestamp_in_interval(), which
now checks against the closed interval, rather than the open interval.

This changes the get_device_system_crosststamp() behavior for three corner
cases:

1. Bypass interpolation in the case cycles == tk->tkr_mono.cycle_last,
   fixing the problem described above.

2. At the first timestamp_in_interval() call site, cycles == now no longer
   causes failure.

3. At the second timestamp_in_interval() call site, history_begin->cycles
   == system_counterval.cycles no longer causes failure.
   adjust_historical_crosststamp() also works for this corner case,
   where partial_history_cycles == total_history_cycles.

These behavioral changes should not cause any problems.
