[PATCH V3 1/7] powerpc/time: Expose boot_tb via accessor

From: Aboorva Devarajan <aboorvad at linux.ibm.com>
- Define accessor function get_boot_tb() to safely return boot_tb value,
this is only needed when running in SPLPAR environments, so the
accessor is built conditionally under CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR.
- Tag boot_tb as __ro_after_init since it is written once at initialized
and never updated afterwards.

Changelog:
As suggested by Maddy, wrap boot_tb under
CONFIG_PPC_SPLPAR
