[PATCH] powerpc/time: clear LPCR.LD when unneeded

Currently the kernel will enable LD mode at boot when required. However,
when using kexec the second kernel may not want to have the LD enabled.
This patch ensures the second kernel will explicitly clear the LD flag
when not required by the current kernel.
