[GIT PULL] posix-cpu-timers leftover overhead fixes

[Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>]

Thomas, Ingo,

Please pull the timers/core branch that can be found at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/frederic/linux-dynticks.git
	timers/core

HEAD: 63a17eea7d5516f9e927fdc52b45f1d040fdcf35

Those are not regression fixes since these bugs precede the git-era,
therefore they are not carrying a stable tag.

Several posix cpu timers events (setting, deletion, expiration) may end
up leaving needless elapsing overhead after a timer has stopped or
even after it has been deleted. Those overhead are:

1) Costly process wide cputime accounting that rely on concurrent atomic
addition during tick or even more frequent scheduler internal stat updates.

2) Retained tick dependency on NOHZ_FULL configurations.

Hopefully this series gets rid of all the possible culprits.

Thanks,
	Frederic
