Subject: [PATCH 16/27] timecounter: Introduce timecounter_reset

timecounter_init initializes the cyclecounter and sets the start time.
Sometimes drivers using timecounter just want to update start time.
This patch creates new function timecounter_reset that just resets the
timecounter start time and associated state.
