[PATCH v3] RISC-V: Check clint_time_val before use

[Anup Patel <anup.patel@wdc.com>]

The NoMMU kernel is broken for QEMU virt machine from Linux-5.9-rc6
because clint_time_val is used even before CLINT driver is probed
at following places:
1. rand_initialize() calls get_cycles() which in-turn uses
   clint_time_val
2. boot_init_stack_canary() calls get_cycles() which in-turn
   uses clint_time_val

The issue#1 (above) is fixed by providing custom random_get_entropy()
for RISC-V NoMMU kernel. For issue#2 (above), we remove dependency of
boot_init_stack_canary() on get_cycles() and this is aligned with the
boot_init_stack_canary() implementations of ARM, ARM64 and MIPS kernel.

Fixes: d5be89a8d118 ("RISC-V: Resurrect the MMIO timer implementation
for M-mode systems")

Changes since v2:
 - Take different approach and provide custom random_get_entropy() for
   RISC-V NoMMU kernel
 - Remove dependency of boot_init_stack_canary() on get_cycles()
 - Hopefully we don't require to set clint_time_val = NULL in CLINT
   driver with a different approach to fix.
Changes since v1:
 - Explicitly initialize clint_time_val to NULL in CLINT driver to
   avoid hang on Kendryte K210
