ARM: mmp: fix timer_read delay

[ Upstream commit e348b401 ]

timer_read() was using an empty 100-iteration loop to wait for the
TMR_CVWR register to capture the latest timer counter value. The delay
wasn't long enough. This resulted in CPU idle time being extremely
underreported on PXA168 with CONFIG_NO_HZ_IDLE=y.

Switch to the approach used in the vendor kernel, which implements the
capture delay by reading TMR_CVWR a few times instead.
