Guenter Roeck 65d1e3ddea nios2: time: Read timer in get_cycles only if initialized
Mainline crashes as follows when running nios2 images.

On node 0 totalpages: 65536
free_area_init_node: node 0, pgdat c8408fa0, node_mem_map c8726000
  Normal zone: 512 pages used for memmap
  Normal zone: 0 pages reserved
  Normal zone: 65536 pages, LIFO batch:15
Unable to handle kernel NULL pointer dereference at virtual address 00000000
ea = c8003cb0, ra = c81cbf40, cause = 15
Kernel panic - not syncing: Oops

Problem is seen because get_cycles() is called before the timer it depends
on is initialized. Returning 0 in that situation fixes the problem.

Fixes: 33d72f3822 ("init/main.c: extract early boot entropy from the ..")

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
