[PATCH 6/6] timers/migration: Remove dead code handling idle CPU checking for remote timers

[Frederic Weisbecker]

Idle migrators don't walk the whole tree in order to find out if there
are timers to migrate because they recorded the next deadline to be
verified within a single check in tmigr_requires_handle_remote().

Remove the related dead code and data.
