Subject: [PATCH v2] clocksource: timer-riscv: Clear timer interrupt on timer initialization

In the RISC-V specification, the stimecmp register doesn't have a default
value. To prevent the timer interrupt from being triggered during timer
initialization, clear the timer interrupt by writing stimecmp with a
maximum value.

Fixes: 9f7a8ff6391f ("RISC-V: Prefer sstc extension if available")

This change breaks boot on Unmatched. The bug is that the above call to
clockevents_config_and_register() sets the timer (see below), but the timer
interrupt never fires due to the added call to riscv_clock_event_stop(). You
need to move this line earlier in the function.

Here's the stack trace from the initial call to riscv_clock_next_event():
