[PATCH 1/5] hrtimers: support resuming with two or more CPUs online (but stopped)

[David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>]

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@citrix.com>

hrtimers_resume() only reprograms the timers for the current CPU as it
assumes that all other CPUs are offline at this point in the resume
process.  If other CPUs are online then their timers will not be
corrected and they may fire at the wrong time.

When running as a Xen guest, this assumption is not true.  Non-boot
CPUs are only stopped with IRQs disabled instead of offlining them.
This is a performance optimization as disabling the CPUs would add an
unacceptable amount of additional downtime during a live migration (>
200 ms for a 4 VCPU guest).

hrtimers_resume() cannot call on_each_cpu(retrigger_next_event,...)
as the other CPUs will be stopped with IRQs disabled.  Instead, defer
the call to the next softirq.
