[GIT pull] NOHZ update for 3.19

[Thomas Gleixner]

Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

Remove the call into the nohz idle code from the fake 'idle' thread in
the powerclamp driver along with the export of those functions which
was smuggeled in via the thermal tree. People have tried to hack
around it in the nohz core code, but it just violates all rightful
assumptions of that code about the only valid calling context
(i.e. the proper idle task).
The powerclamp trainwreck will still work, it just wont get the
benefit of long idle sleeps.

Thanks,

	tglx
