[PATCH 3/3 V2] pvclock: Get rid of __pvclock_read_cycles in function pvclock_read_flags

From: Minfei Huang
Date: Sat May 28 2016 - 08:28:02 EST


There is a generic function __pvclock_read_cycles to be used to get both
flags and cycles. For function pvclock_read_flags, it's useless to get
cycles value. To make this function be more effective, get this variable
flags directly in function.
