[GIT pull] timer updates for 4.4

[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

A single fix for a long standing race versus timers scheduled on a
target cpu which got exposed by recent changes in the workqueue
implementation.

Thanks,

	tglx
