1) Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing out
of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore has to
ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other CPU come out
of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the race and expires
the global queue. This causes the last CPU to chase ghost timers
forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
2) The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent which
in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being expired on
time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the self
IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again.

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two regression fixes for the timer and timer migration code:
- Prevent endless timer requeuing which is caused by two CPUs racing
out of idle. This happens when the last CPU goes idle and therefore
has to ensure to expire the pending global timers and some other
CPU come out of idle at the same time and the other CPU wins the
race and expires the global queue. This causes the last CPU to
chase ghost timers forever and reprogramming it's clockevent device
endlessly.
Cure this by re-evaluating the wakeup time unconditionally.
- The split into local (pinned) and global timers in the timer wheel
caused a regression for NOHZ full as it broke the idle tracking of
global timers. On NOHZ full this prevents an self IPI being sent
which in turn causes the timer to be not programmed and not being
expired on time.
Restore the idle tracking for the global timer base so that the
self IPI condition for NOHZ full is working correctly again"
