clocksource: cadence_ttc: Fix mutex taken inside interrupt context

When the kernel is compiled with:
CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=no
CONFIG_HZ_PERIODIC=yes
CONFIG_DEBUG_ATOMIC_SLEEP=yes

The following WARN appears:

We are in an interrupt context (IPI) and we are calling clk_get_rate in the
set_mode function which in turn ends up by getting a mutex... Even if that
does not hang, it is a potential kernel deadlock.

It is not allowed to call clk_get_rate() from interrupt context. To
avoid such calls the timer input frequency is stored in the driver's
data struct which makes it accessible to the driver in any context.

[dlezcano] completed the changelog with the WARN trace and added a more
detailed description. Tested on zync zc702.
