arm: arch_timer: add arch_counter_set_user_access
Several bits in CNTKCTL reset to 0, including PL0VTEN. For architectures using the generic timer which wish to have a fast gettimeofday vDSO implementation, these bits must be set to 1 by the kernel. For architectures without a vDSO, it's best to leave the bits set to 0 for now to ensure that if and when support is added, it's implemented sanely architecture wide. As the bootloader might set PL0VTEN to a value that doesn't correspond to that which the kernel prefers, we must explicitly set it to the architecture port's preferred value. This patch adds arch_counter_set_user_access, which sets the PL0 access permissions to that required by the architecture. For arch/arm, this currently means disabling all userspace access.
