[ARM] OMAP3 clock: optimize DPLL rate rounding algorithm

The previous DPLL rate rounding algorithm counted the divider (N) down
from the maximum to 1.  Since we currently use a broad DPLL rate
tolerance, and lower N values are more power-efficient, we can often
bypass several iterations through the loop by counting N upwards from
1.

Peter de Schrijver <peter.de-schrijver@nokia.com> put up with several
test cycles of this patch - thanks Peter.
