[PATCH 2/4] clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable

[Roman Volkov]

From: Roman Volkov <rvolkov at v1ros.org>

The purpose of the 'loops' variable is unclear. vt8500 hardware does not
require any protections, in case if these variables intended for preventing
infinite loops (identical PXA timer works perfectly without these ones). If
the loops count will not be calculated correctly, these variables will only
break the loop too early and introduce problems.
