clk: update clk API documentation to clarify clk_round_rate()

The idea is that rate = clk_round_rate(clk, r) is equivalent to:

	clk_set_rate(clk, r);
	rate = clk_get_rate(clk);

except that clk_round_rate() does not change the hardware in any way.

* in any way. In other words:
*
* rate = clk_round_rate(clk, r);

*
* clk_set_rate(clk, r);

*
* are equivalent except the former does not modify the clock hardware

* Returns rounded clock rate in Hz, or negative errno.
