[PATCH 11/19] UML - Track and make up lost ticks

[Jeff Dike]

Alarm delivery could be noticably late in the !CONFIG_NOHZ case
because lost ticks weren't being taken into account.  This is now
treated more carefully, with the time between ticks being calculated
and the appropriate number of ticks delivered to the timekeeping system.
