In this function, we try to initialize per-CPU arm arch_timer by DT.
this "!arch_timer_rate" is for testing that if we have got system
counter frequency from the memory-mapped timer. If so, we just skip
getting the frequency from DT or sysreg cntfrq again.
This variable is set only if "arm,armv7-timer-mem" is initialized
earlier than "arm,armv7-timer", in another word, maybe the node of
"arm,armv7-timer-mem" is declared earlier than "arm,armv7-timer-mem"
one in DT.
we do this check is for keeping the same init logic as before in the
DT, try to avoid any possibility of breaking devices which boot by
DT.

this "!arch_timer_rate" is for verifying that if the system counter
frequency we just got from DT or sysreg cntfrq is valid(non-zero).
So here, you can see I check arch_timer_rate twice, but they are for
different cases.
