clocksource: Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2
With the previous patch, there is an extra watchdog read in each retry. Now the total number of clocksource reads is increased to 4 per iteration. In order to avoid increasing the clock skew check overhead, the default maximum number of retries is reduced from 3 to 2 to maintain the same 12 clocksource reads in the worst case.
