[PATCH v4] hrtimer: avoid retrigger_next_event IPI

[Marcelo Tosatti]

Setting the realtime clock triggers an IPI to all CPUs to reprogram
the clock event device.

However, only realtime and TAI clocks have their offsets updated
(and therefore potentially require a reprogram).

Instead of sending an IPI unconditionally, check each per CPU hrtimer base
whether it has active timers in the CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI bases. If
that's not the case, update the realtime and TAI base offsets remotely and
skip the IPI. This ensures that any subsequently armed timers on
CLOCK_REALTIME and CLOCK_TAI are evaluated with the correct offsets.

v4:
   - Drop unused code (Thomas).

v3:
   - Nicer changelog  (Thomas).
   - Code style fixes (Thomas).
   - Compilation warning with CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=n (Thomas).
   - Shrink preemption disabled section (Thomas).

v2:
   - Only REALTIME and TAI bases are affected by offset-to-monotonic changes (Thomas).
   - Don't special case nohz_full CPUs (Thomas).
