Subject: [PATCH] clocksource/drivers/timer-of: Remove percpu irq related code

Found by GCC's named address space checks:

timer-of.c:29:46: warning: incorrect type in argument 2 (different address spaces)
timer-of.c:29:46:    expected void [noderef] __percpu *
timer-of.c:29:46:    got struct clock_event_device *clkevt
timer-of.c:74:51: warning: incorrect type in argument 4 (different address spaces)
timer-of.c:74:51:    expected void [noderef] __percpu *percpu_dev_id
timer-of.c:74:51:    got struct clock_event_device *clkevt

It appears the code is incorrect as reported by Uros Bizjak:

"The referred code is questionable as it tries to reuse
the clkevent pointer once as percpu pointer and once as generic
pointer, which should be avoided."

The initial change proposed to do a coercitive cast which is probably
not right given the correct is incorrect.

This change removes the percpu related code as no drivers is using it.
