IRQCHIP: irq-mips-gic: Add new functions to start/stop the GIC counter

We add new functions to start and stop the GIC counter since there are no
guarantees the counter will be running after a CPU reset. The GIC counter
is stopped by setting the 29th bit on the GIC Config register and it is
started by clearing that bit.
