    xen/arm: Add an isb() before reading CNTPCT_EL0 to prevent re-ordering
    
    Per D8.2.1 in ARM DDI 0487C.a, "a read to CNTPCT_EL0 can occur
    speculatively and out of order relative to other instructions executed
    on the same PE."
    
    Add an instruction barrier to get accurate number of cycles when
    requested in get_cycles(). For the other users of CNPCT_EL0, replace by
    a call to get_cycles().
    
    This is part of XSA-295.
