[PATCH] x86: Conditionally update time when ack-ing pending irqs

[Ido Yariv]

From: Shai Fultheim <shai@xxxxxxxxxxx>

On virtual environments, apic_read could take a long time. As a result,
under certain conditions the ack pending loop may exit without any
queued irqs left, but after more than one second. A warning will be
printed needlessly in this case.

If the loop is about to exit regardless of max_loops, don't update it.
