[PATCHv4 04/14] arm: arch_timer: standardise counter reading

[Mark Rutland]

We're currently inconsistent with respect to our accesses to the
physical and virtual counters, mixing and matching the two.

This patch introduces and uses a function pointer for accessing the
correct counter based on whether we're using physical or virtual
interrupts. All current accesses to the counter accessors are redirected
through it.

When the driver is moved out to drivers/clocksource, there's the
possibility that code called before the timer code is initialised will
attempt to call arch_timer_read_counter (e.g. sched_clock for AArch64).
To avoid having to have to check whether the timer has been initialised
either in arch_timer_read_counter or one of it's callers, a default
implementation is assigned that simply returns 0.
