[PATCH] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: fix DEFINE_PER_CPU expansion

Our ctags mangling script can't handle newlines inside of a
DEFINE_PER_CPU(), leading to an annoying message whenever tags are
built:

  ctags: Warning: drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c:302: null expansion of name pattern "\1"

This was dealt with elsewhere in commit:

  25528213fe9f75f4 ("tags: Fix DEFINE_PER_CPU expansions")

... by ensuring each DEFINE_PER_CPU() was contained on a single line,
even where this would violate the usual code style (checkpatch warnings
and all).

Let's do the same for the arch timer driver, and get rid of the
distraction.

Fixes: 6acc71ccac7187fc ("arm64: arch_timer: Allows a CPU-specific erratum to only affect a subset of CPUs")

Daniel/Thomas, this fixes a small bit of fallout from the recent merge window.
Would it be possible to pick it up as a fix for v4.12?

Thanks,
Mark.
