ARM: arch_timer: stop virtual timer when booted in HYP mode
When booting the kernel, a bootloader could have left the virtual timer ticking away, potentially generating interrupts. This could be troublesome if the user of the virtual timer is not careful when enabling the interrupt. In order to avoid any surprise, stop the virtual timer from interrupting us when booted in HYP mode, as we'll use the physical timer in this case.
