Subject: ARM: OMAP2+: Fix wait_dll_lock_timed for rodata

commit d9db59103305eb5ec2a86369f32063e9921b6ac5 upstream.

We don't want to be writing to .text so it can be set rodata.
Fix error "Unable to handle kernel paging request at virtual address
c012396c" in wait_dll_lock_timed if CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA is selected.

As these counters are for debugging only and unused, we can just
remove them.
