This converts arm and arm64 to use CLKSRC_OF DT based initialization for
the arch timer. A new function arch_timer_arch_init is added to allow for
arch specific setup.

This has a side effect of enabling sched_clock on omap5 and exynos5. There
should not be any reason not to use the arch timers for sched_clock.

<title>arm: arch_timer: move core to drivers/clocksource</title>

The core functionality of the arch_timer driver is not directly tied to
anything under arch/arm, and can be split out.

This patch factors out the core of the arch_timer driver, so it can be
shared with other architectures. A couple of functions are added so
that architecture-specific code can interact with the driver without
needing to touch its internals.

The ARM_ARCH_TIMER config variable is moved out to
drivers/clocksource/Kconfig, existing uses in arch/arm are replaced with
HAVE_ARM_ARCH_TIMER, which selects it.

Several bits in CNTKCTL reset to 0, including PL0VTEN. For architectures
using the generic timer which wish to have a fast gettimeofday vDSO
implementation, these bits must be set to 1 by the kernel. For
architectures without a vDSO, it's best to leave the bits set to 0 for
now to ensure that if and when support is added, it's implemented sanely
architecture wide.

As the bootloader might set PL0VTEN to a value that doesn't correspond
to that which the kernel prefers, we must explicitly set it to the
architecture port's preferred value.

This patch adds arch_counter_set_user_access, which sets the PL0 access
permissions to that required by the architecture. For arch/arm, this
currently means disabling all userspace access.

Without the isbs in arch_timer_get_cnt{p,v}ct the cpu may speculate
reads and return stale values. This could be bad for code sensitive to
changes in expected deltas between calls (e.g. the delay loop).

Without isbs in arch_timer_reg_write the processor may reorder
instructions around enabling/disabling of the timer or writing the
compare value, which we probably don't want.

This patch adds isbs to prevent those issues.

Currently the arch_timer register accessors are thrown together with
the main driver, preventing us from porting the driver to other
architectures.

This patch moves the register accessors into a header file, as with
the arm64 version. Constants required by the accessors are also moved.

The current timer-based delay loop relies on the architected timer to
initiate the switch away from the polling-based implementation. This is
unfortunate for platforms without the architected timers but with a
suitable delay source (that is, constant frequency, always powered-up
and ticking as long as the CPUs are online).

This patch introduces a registration mechanism for the delay timer
(which provides an unconditional read_current_timer implementation) and
updates the architected timer code to use the new interface.

Some subsystems (KVM for example) need access to a cycle counter.
In the KVM case, this is used to measure the time delta between
host and guest in order to accurately generate timer events for
the guest.

This patch implements read_current_timer using the architected timers
when they are selected via CONFIG_ARM_ARCH_TIMER. If they are detected
not to be usable at runtime, we return -ENXIO to the caller.

Furthermore, if read_current_timer is exported then we can implement
get_cycles in terms of it for use as both an entropy source and for
implementing __udelay and friends.
