Because sun4i_clkevt_time_stop() is getting called in default case, it
is getting called for tick-resume mode already with the old set_mode
interface.

And so this patch carried the same logic here.

At suspend: clockevents core calls ->set_state_shutdown() and at
resume it calls ->tick_resume() followed by setting to the proper
mode, i.e. periodic or oneshot.

Many driver authors didn't knew about these details and so did
shutdown in resume path as well.

For me, you might not even need a tick_resume() at all, as your driver
would have already shutted down on suspend and is just required to be
put to the right mode again.

But, I didn't wanted to change the way things behaved until now. I can
add another patch to get things fixed separately if you want me to.
