clocksource/drivers/riscv: Increase the clock source rating
RISC-V provides an architectural clock source via the time CSR. This
clock source exposes a 64-bit counter synchronized across all CPUs.
Because it is accessed using a CSR, it is much more efficient to read
than MMIO clock sources. For example, on the Allwinner D1, reading the
sun4i timer in a loop takes 131 cycles/iteration, while reading the
RISC-V time CSR takes only 5 cycles/iteration.
Adjust the RISC-V clock source rating so it is preferred over the
various platform-specific MMIO clock sources.
