clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to use physical timers when requested

Browse Source 
This is a bug fix for using physical arch timers when
the arch_timer_use_virtual boolean is false.  It restores the
arch_counter_get_cntpct() function after removal in

0d651e4e "clocksource: arch_timer: use virtual counters"

We need this on certain ARMv7 systems which are architected like this:

* The firmware doesn't know and doesn't care about hypervisor mode and
  we don't want to add the complexity of hypervisor there.

* The firmware isn't involved in SMP bringup or resume.

* The ARCH timer come up with an uninitialized offset between the
  virtual and physical counters.  Each core gets a different random
  offset.

* The device boots in "Secure SVC" mode.

* Nothing has touched the reset value of CNTHCTL.PL1PCEN or
  CNTHCTL.PL1PCTEN (both default to 1 at reset)

One example of such as system is RK3288 where it is much simpler to
use the physical counter since there's nobody managing the offset and
each time a core goes down and comes back up it will get reinitialized
to some other random value.
