[PATCH 6/6] irqchip/gic-v3: Use nops macro for Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154

The workaround for Cavium ThunderX erratum 23154 has a homebrew
pipeflush built out of NOP sequences around the read of the IAR.

This patch converts the code to use the new nops macro, which makes it
a little easier to read.
