[U-Boot] [PATCH v2 04/13] ARM: non-sec: reset CNTVOFF to zero

Before switching to non-secure, make sure that CNTVOFF is set
to zero on all CPUs. Otherwise, kernel running in non-secure
without HYP enabled (hence using virtual timers) may observe
timers that are not synchronized, effectively seeing time
going backward...
