clocksource/drivers/exynos_mct: Increase priority over ARM arch timer

[ Upstream commit 6282edb ] Exynos SoCs based on CA7/CA15 have 2 timer interfaces: custom Exynos MCT (Multi Core Timer) and standard ARM Architected Timers. There are use cases, where both timer interfaces are used simultanously. One of such examples is using Exynos MCT for the main system timer and ARM Architected Timers for the KVM and virtualized guests (KVM requires arch timers). Exynos Multi-Core Timer driver (exynos_mct) must be however started before ARM Architected Timers (arch_timer), because they both share some common hardware blocks (global system counter) and turning on MCT is needed to get ARM Architected Timer working properly. To ensure selecting Exynos MCT as the main system timer, increase MCT timer rating. To ensure proper starting order of both timers during suspend/resume cycle, increase MCT hotplug priority over ARM Archictected Timers.
