If there is a function that is defined but that must never be
called, I think we are doing something wrong. Before
e8e9d21a5df6 ("timekeeping: Refactor timekeeping helpers"),
the #ifdef made some sense, but now the #else is not really
that useful.

Ideally we would make timekeeping_debug_get_delta() and
timekeeping_check_update() just return in case of
!IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING), but unfortunately
the code uses some struct members that are undefined then.

The patch below moves the #ifdef check into these functions,
which is not great, but it avoids defining useless
functions. Maybe there is a better way here. How about
just removing the BUG()?
