[PATCH v2] target/riscv: fix instructions count handling in icount mode

[Clément Léger]

When icount is enabled, rather than returning the virtual CPU time, we
should return the instruction count itself. Add an instructions bool
parameter to get_ticks() to correctly return icount_get_raw() when
icount_enabled() == 1 and instruction count is queried. This will modify
the existing behavior which was returning an instructions count close to
the number of cycles (CPI ~= 1).

v2:
 - Apply checkpatch and fixed missing braces
