[MIPS] time: Delete weak definition of plat_time_init() due to gcc bug.

Frank Rowand <frank.rowand@am.sony.com> reports:

[ He meant the call to plat_time_init() from time_init() gets optimized away ]

The __weak definition of plat_time_init was only ever meant to be a
migration helper to keep platforms that don't have a plat_time_init
compiling.  A few greps says that all platforms now supply their own
plat_time_init() so the weak definition is no longer needed.  So I
instead delete it.
