Series clk: at91: mark ddr clocks as critical |

  Mark DDR clocks as critical for AT91 devices. These clocks are enabled
by bootloader when initializing DDR and needs to stay enabled. Up to
this patch the DDR clocks were requested from drivers/memory/atmel-sdramc.c
which does only clock request and enable. There is no need to have
a separate driver just for this, thus the atmel-sdramc.c will be deleted
in a subsequent patch.
