Subject: [PATCH 5.17 073/111] powerpc: define get_cycles macro for arch-override

From: "Jason A. Donenfeld" <Jason@...c4.com>

commit 408835832158df0357e18e96da7f2d1ed6b80e7f upstream.

PowerPC defines a get_cycles() function, but it does not do the usual
`#define get_cycles get_cycles` dance, making it impossible for generic
code to see if an arch-specific function was defined. While the
get_cycles() ifdef is not currently used, the following timekeeping
patch in this series will depend on the macro existing (or not existing)
when defining random_get_entropy().
