Subject[GIT PULL timers] Timer-wheel bandaids^Wcommits
Hello, Ingo,

This pull request contains latency bandaids^Woptimizations to the
timer-wheel code that are useful in conjunction with NO_HZ_FULL Kconfig
option. These optimizations reduce the jiffy-by-jiffy looping in cases
where there is either zero or one timers in the timer wheel, which is
a common case for NO_HZ_FULL "worker" CPUs that run almost entirely
in usermode for a single task.

Each of these commits has at least two Reviewed-by, one Acked-by, and
one Tested-by tag, so they are ready for more extensive testing in -tip.

Thanx, Paul
