MN10300: Move asm-arm/cnt32_to_63.h to include/linux/

Move asm-arm/cnt32_to_63.h to include/linux/ so that MN10300 can make
use of it too.

+/**
+ * cnt32_to_63 - Expand a 32-bit counter to a 63-bit counter
+ * @cnt_lo: The low part of the counter
+ *
+ * Many hardware clock counters are only 32 bits wide and therefore have
+ * a relatively short period making wrap-arounds rather frequent.  This
+ * is a problem when implementing sched_clock() for example, where a 64-bit
+ * non-wrapping monotonic value is expected to be returned.
+ *
+ * To overcome that limitation, let's extend a 32-bit counter to 63 bits
+ * in a completely lock free fashion. Bits 0 to 31 of the clock are provided
+ * by the hardware while bits 32 to 62 are stored in memory.  The top bit in
+ * memory is used to synchronize with the hardware clock half-period.  When
+ * the top bit of both counters (hardware and in memory) differ then the
+ * memory is updated with a new value, incrementing it when the hardware
+ * counter wraps around.
+ *
+ * Because a word store in memory is atomic then the incremented value will
+ * always be in synch with the top bit indicating to any potential concurrent
+ * reader if the value in memory is up to date or not with regards to the
+ * needed increment.  And any race in updating the value in memory is harmless
+ * as the same value would simply be stored more than once.
+ *
+ * The only restriction for the algorithm to work properly is that this
+ * code must be executed at least once per each half period of the 32-bit
+ * counter to properly update the state bit in memory. This is usually not a
+ * problem in practice, but if it is then a kernel timer could be scheduled
+ * to manage for this code to be executed often enough.
+ *
+ * Note that the top bit (bit 63) in the returned value should be considered
+ * as garbage.  It is not cleared here because callers are likely to use a
+ * multiplier on the returned value which can get rid of the top bit
+ * implicitly by making the multiplier even, therefore saving on a runtime
+ * clear-bit instruction. Otherwise caller must remember to clear the top
+ * bit explicitly.
