Subject: [PATCH 7/9] MIPS: Remove "weak" from get_c0_fdc_int() declaration

Weak header file declarations are error-prone because they make every
definition weak, and the linker chooses one based on link order (see
10629d711ed7 ("PCI: Remove __weak annotation from pcibios_get_phb_of_node
decl")).

get_c0_fdc_int() is defined only in arch/mips/mti-malta/malta-time.c so
there's no problem with multiple definitions.  But it works better to have
a weak default implementation and allow a strong function to override it.
Then we don't have to test whether a definition is present, and if there
are ever multiple strong definitions, we get a link error instead of
calling a random definition.

Add a weak get_c0_fdc_int() definition with the default code and remove the
weak annotation from the declaration.
