[PATCH v3 2/2] cyclic: reduce get_timer_us() calls inside hlist_for_each_entry_safe()

On STM32MP157C-DK2, when using the "ums" command, in sleep_thread(),
ctrlc() is called every ~640ms which doesn't allows high reactivity when
user press CTRL+C in U-Boot console.
In sleep_thread() loop, ctrlc() is called every 200000 iterations.
But schedule is called on each loop iteration.
Optimize cyclic_run() in order to not call get_timer_us() on each entry.
This allow to save computation time :
_ before : ctrlc() is called every ~640ms
_ after : ctrlc() is called every ~230ms
