[PATCH 0/3] Timekeeping fixes for 3.13 via tip/timers/urgent

[John Stultz]

Hey Ingo, Thomas,
	Here are the timekeeping fixes I'd like to submit for 3.13.

The first is a regression caused by the shadow time code that
causes the tai offset to be overwritten. This keeps ntpd from being
able to initialize the tai_offset.

The second fixes an issue where the action flag returned from
accumulate_nsecs_to_secs was not being passed all the way down
to where we update the pv notifiers. While not critical, this
change is a prerequisite for the following critical fix.

The last patch fixes the potential timekeeping/hrtimer
deadlock Sahsa found caused by clock_was_set_delayed() not actually
being safe to call while holding the timekeeping lock. This
leverages the previous patch to move the call outside the lock.

I have a number of other fixes queued, including the cleanup to the
tick code that will let us stop using clock_was_set_delayed all
together in the timekeeping code, but I'll save those for 3.14.

thanks
-john
