nios2: time: Read timer in get_cycles only if initialized
Mainline crashes as follows when running nios2 images. On node 0 totalpages: 65536 free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat c8408fa0, node_mem_map c8726000 Normal zone: 512 pages used for memmap Normal zone: 0 pages reserved Normal zone: 65536 pages, LIFO batch:15 Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000 ea = c8003cb0, ra = c81cbf40, cause = 15 Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops Problem is seen because get_cycles() is called before the timer it depends on is initialized. Returning 0 in that situation fixes the problem. Fixes: 33d72f3822d7 ("init/main.c: extract early boot entropy from the ..")
