So I've again forgotten why we don't simply set TIF_NEED_RESCHED if we
need the timer re-programmed. That is by far the simplest fix.

I'm sure we talked about it, but this was a long time ago and I can't
remember :/

Anyway, the patches look good, except I think there's a whole bunch of
architectures that still need fixing. In particular since loongson
'borrowed' the whole lot from MIPS, they need an identical fix. But I'm
sure there's more architectures affected.
