Introduce a structure which are filled up by the arch timer driver and
used by the virtual timer in KVM.
The first member of this structure will be the timecounter. More members
will be added later.
A stub for the new helper isn't introduced because KVM requires the arch
timer for both ARM64 and ARM32.
The function arch_timer_get_timecounter is kept for the time being and
will be dropped in a subsequent patch.

Changes in v3:
- Rename the patch
- Move the KVM changes and removal of arch_timer_get_timecounter
in separate patches.

This structure is statically defined in this subsystem but not used in
this file and a couple of a accessors is added to let another subsystem
to access it.
That sounds there is something wrong here with the design of the current
code, virt/phys are mixed.
It isn't possible to split the virt/phys timer code respectively in
virt/kvm/arm/arch_timer.c and drivers/clocksource/arm_arch_timer.c ?
At least, 'struct arch_timer_kvm_info' should belong to
virt/kvm/arm/arch_timer.c.
