arm64: Fix __arch_get_hw_counter() implementation
Provide the following fixes for the __arch_get_hw_counter() implementation on arm64: - Fallback on syscall when an unstable counter is detected. - Introduce isb()s before and after the counter read to avoid speculation of the counter value and of the seq lock respectively. The second isb() is a temporary solution that will be revisited in 5.3-rc1. These fixes restore the semantics that __arch_counter_get_cntvct() had on arm64.
