[PATCH] ARM: at91/pit: don't suspend/resume if unused

Waiting for PIT to stop counting takes a long time:
  1/(Master clock/prescaler/PIVR)
= 1/(133 MHz     /16       /2^20)
= 126 ms

Up to 126 ms if master clock is set to 133 MHz, skipping suspend/resume
of the unused PIT device reduce (suspend time + resume time) from ~140 ms
to ~17 ms.
