[PATCH] drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer: Tighten Allwinner arch timer workaround

[Ilya Dikariev]

As we know, the Allwinner A64 SoC has a buggy RCU time unit. The
workaround named UNKNOWN1 was not sufficient to cover some more buggy
bunches of this SoC. This workaround diminish the mask to 8 bits instead
of 9.

An example run of timer test tool https://github.com/smaeul/timer-tools
on PinePhone device (owns the A64 SoC) gives following result on a non
patched kernel (cut off):

After the proposed patch applied the test runs
correctly (~2 hours of testing with a tool above without fails)
