clocksource: arch_timer: Only use the virtual counter (CNTVCT) on arm64
commit d6ad369 upstream. Commit 0b46b8a (clocksource: arch_timer: Fix code to use physical timers when requested) introduces the use of physical counters in the ARM architected timer driver. However, he arm64 kernel uses CNTVCT in VDSO. When booting in EL2, the kernel switches to the physical timers to make things easier for KVM but it continues to use the virtual counter both in user and kernel. While in such scenario CNTVCT == CNTPCT (since CNTVOFF is initialised by the kernel to 0), we want to spot firmware bugs corrupting CNTVOFF early (which would affect CNTVCT).
