[PATCH 1/2] clk: Disable CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLED parent only after CRITICAL check

The call to clk_core_enable_lock done by __clk_core_init after checking
the clock flags for CLK_IS_CRITICAL enables the parent clock.

In Commit 669917676e93 ("clk: Respect CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLE during
recalc"), the parent gets disabled before this check, if the flag
CLK_OPS_PARENT_ENABLED is set on the clock. This results in a situation
where critical clocks have their parent briefly disabled, which kills
the system.

Fix this by moving the balancing operation to after the CLK_IS_CRITICAL
check, which should resolve the problem.
