[PATCH 59/69] clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: Use {readl|writel}_relaxed in critical path

[Daniel Lezcano]

From: Jisheng Zhang <jszhang at marvell.com>

It's safe to use the relaxed version. From another side, the relaxed io
accessor macros are available on all architectures now, so we can use
the relaxed versions to get a trivial system performance improvement,
we measured time the following functions spent on Marvell BG4CT:

4096 rounds of __apbt_read_clocksource() call:

before the patch: 1263240ns on average
after the patch: 1250080ns on average
improved by 1%

4096 rounds of apbt_eoi() call:

before the patch: 1290960ns on average
after the patch: 1248240ns on average

4096 rounds of apbt_next_event() call:

before the patch: 3333660ns on average
after the patch: 1322040ns on average

improved by 60%!
