[RFC PATCH 07/11] nohz,timer: designate timer housekeeping cpu

[riel]

From: Rik van Riel <riel@xxxxxxxxxx>

The timer housekeeping CPU can do tick based sampling for remote
CPUs. For now this is the first CPU in the housekeeping_mask.

Eventually we could move to having one timer housekeeping cpu per
socket, if needed.
