clocksource: arm_arch_timer: Change clocksource name if CP15 unavailable

commit 423bd69e69f565167ba14e2fe61df76c3c4a0d26 upstream.

The arm and arm64 VDSOs need CP15 access to the architected counter.
If this is unavailable (which is allowed by ARM v7), indicate this by
changing the clocksource name to "arch_mem_counter" before registering
the clocksource.
