From: Jisheng Zhang <jszh...@marvell.com>
Currently arm_global_timer can be used as a scheduler clock. We properly
marked gt_sched_clock_read() as notrace but we then call another function
gt_counter_read() that _wasn't_ notrace.
Having a traceable function in the sched_clock() path leads to a recursion
within ftrace and a kernel crash.
Fix this by adding an extra notrace function to keep other users of
gt_counter_read() traceable.
