[PATCH] Do not allow the probing of the local timer

From: Varun Swara <Varun.Swara at arm.com>

Since this IRQ descriptor doesn't have an action registered, it is
allowed for probing via probe_irq_on/off() and it will be disabled by
the latter function. This patch sets the IRQ_NOPROBE status bit for the
local timer descriptor.
