[PATCH] clocksource/drivers/dw_apb_timer: use {readl|writel}_relaxed

[Jisheng Zhang]

readl/writel is too expensive on Cortex A9 w/ outer L2 cache,
especially the writel will try to hold l2x0_lock, which could increase
chance of L2 cache maintance spinning at the l2x0_lock.

The driver does not perform DMA, so 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 overall system performance improvement on some
architectures.
