Subject: [RFC PATCH 01/13] arm: Fix mutual exclusion in arch_gettimeoffset

Implementations of arch_gettimeoffset are generally not re-entrant
and assume that interrupts have been disabled. Unfortunately this
pre-condition got broken in v2.6.32.

Fixes: 5cfc8ee0bb51 ("ARM: convert arm to arch_gettimeoffset()")
