Christoph Muellner 0cb40f415b RISC-V: Reliably initialize t0 in _times()
The current implementation does not reliably initialize t0 once.
Additionally the initialization requires two calls to _gettimeofday().
Let's sacrifice a byte to keep the initialization status
and reduce the maximum number of calls to _gettimeofday().

This has caused issues in an application that invokes clock().
The problematic situation is as follows:

1) The program calls clock() which calls _times().
2) _gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 0 in t0.tv_usec (because less than 1 us has
   elapsed since the beginning of time).
3) _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since now more than 1 us has
   elapsed since the beginning of time).
4) That call to clock() returns 1 (the value from step 3 minus the value in
   step 2).
5) The program does a second call to clock().
6) The code above still sees 0 in t0 so it tries to update t0 again and
   _gettimeofday(&t0, 0) puts 1 in t0.tv_usec.
7) The _gettimeofday(&t, 0) puts 1 in t.tv_usec (since less than 1us has
   elapsed since step 3).
8) clock() returns 0 (step 7 minus step 6) and indicates that time is
   moving backwards.

/* Timing information for current process. From
newlib/libc/include/sys/times.h the tms struct fields are as follows:
- clock_t tms_utime : user clock ticks
- clock_t tms_stime : system clock ticks
- clock_t tms_cutime : children's user clock ticks
- clock_t tms_cstime : children's system clock ticks
Since maven does not currently support processes we set both of the
children's times to zero. Eventually we might want to separately
account for user vs system time, but for now we just return the total
number of cycles since starting the program. */
