[PATCH v3 2/3] clocksource/vt8500: Remove the 'loops' variable

[Roman Volkov]

From: Roman Volkov <rvolkov@xxxxxxxxx>

The purpose of the 'loops' variable is unclear. vt8500 hardware does not
require any protections, in case if these variables intended for preventing
infinite loops (identical PXA timer works perfectly without these ones).
