Subject: [PATCH] x86/mrst: fix apb timer rating when lapic timer is used

From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@...ux.intel.com>

Need to adjust the clockevent device rating for the structure that will
be registered with clockevent system instead of the temporary structure.

Without this fix, APB timer rating will be higher than LAPIC timer such
that it can not be released later to be used as the broadcast timer.
