clocksource/drivers/arm_arch_timer: Disable timer before programming CVAL

Due to the fact that the use of `writeq_relaxed()` to program CVAL is
not guaranteed to be atomic, it is necessary to disable the timer before
programming CVAL.

However, if the MMIO timer is already enabled and has not yet expired,
there is a possibility of unexpected behavior occurring: when the CPU
enters the idle state during this period, and if the CPU's local event
is earlier than the broadcast event, the following process occurs:

tick_broadcast_enter()
  tick_broadcast_oneshot_control(TICK_BROADCAST_ENTER)
    __tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
      ___tick_broadcast_oneshot_control()
        tick_broadcast_set_event()
          clockevents_program_event()
            set_next_event_mem()

During this process, the MMIO timer remains enabled while programming
CVAL. To prevent such behavior, disable timer explicitly prior to
programming CVAL.
