[PATCH] ARM: local timers: Allow boot CPU to have its timer running early

Currently, the boot CPU has its local timer enabled long after
the delay loop has been calibrated. This makes it impossible to
boot a system that only uses local timers, like the A15.
Use late_time_init hook to initialize the boot CPU local timer.
Since shmobile is already using this hook, add an ARM specific
arm_late_time_init hook that platforms can use instead.
