Subject: [ 53/56] ARM: OMAP: counter: add locking to read_persistent_clock

3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

commit 9d7d6e363b06934221b81a859d509844c97380df upstream.

read_persistent_clock uses a global variable, use a spinlock to
ensure non-atomic updates to the variable don't overlap and cause
time to move backwards.
