[PATCH v2] clocksource: timer-sp804: Fix an Oops when read_current_timer is called on ARM32 platforms where the SP804 is not registered as the sched_clock.

[Stephen Eta Zhou <stephen.eta.zhou@gmail.com>]

On SP804, the delay timer shares the same clkevt instance with
sched_clock.
On some platforms, when sp804_clocksource_and_sched_clock_init
is called with use_sched_clock not set to 1,
sched_clkevt is not properly initialized. However,
sp804_register_delay_timer is invoked unconditionally,
and read_current_timer() subsequently calls sp804_read
on an uninitialized sched_clkevt, leading to a kernel
Oops when accessing sched_clkevt->value.

Declare a dedicated clkevt instance exclusively for delay timer,
instead of sharing the same clkevt with sched_clock.
This ensures that read_current_timer continues to work correctly
regardless of whether SP804 is selected as the sched_clock.

Changes in v2:
- Declared `delay_clkevt` as `static` to fix the sparse warning.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20251219-fix_timersp804-v1-1-020e3cde7cf5@gmail.com
