Commit 923df96b9f31b7d08d8438ff9677326d9537accf
(ARM: 7451/1: arch timer: implement read_current_timer and get_cycles)
modifies get_cycles() such that it calls read_current_timer().
Unfortunately, the 'read_current_timer' symbol is not exported so when
a driver that calls get_cycles() is built as a module, an undefined
reference error occurs.

A good example is the crypto/tcrypt.c (CONFIG_CRYPTO_TEST) driver
because it calls get_cycles() and can only be built as a module.

Fix this error by exporting the 'read_current_timer' symbol.
