Subject: [PATCH v4 2/3] LoongArch: KVM: Allow to access HW timer CSR registers always

Currently HW timer CSR registers are allowed to access before entering to
vm and disabled if switch to SW timer in host mode, instead it is not
necessary to do so. HW timer CSR registers can be accessed always, it
is nothing to do with whether it is in vm mode or host mode. This patch
removes the limitation.
