[PATCHv2 3/4] ARM: at91/tclib: mask interruptions at shutdown and probe

Shutdown properly the timer counter block by masking interruptions. Otherwise,
a segmentation may happen when kexec-ing a new kernel (see backtrace below).
An interruption may happen before the handler is set, leading to a kernel
segmentation fault.

Furthermore, we make sure the interruptions are masked when the driver is
initialized. This will prevent freshly kexec-ed kernel from crashing when
launched from a kernel which does not properly mask interruptions at shutdown.

The backtrace below happened after kexec-ing a new kernel, from a kernel
that did not shut down properly leaving interruptions unmasked.

Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
