[PATCH] clocksource: arm_arch_timer: print timer value at init time

This is useful to get an indication of how much time we spent in firmware.

It's not guaranteed that the timer started at 0 on reset, so it's just
an approximation, and might very well be invalid on some systems. But
it's still a useful metric to have access to.
