Subject: Re: [PATCH 06/12 UPDATED] irq: implement irq_schedule_poll()

Implement and use irq_schedule_poll() to schedule desc->poll_timer
instead of calling mod_timer directly.  irq_schedule_poll() is called
with desc->lock held and schedules the timer iff necessary - ie. if
the timer is offline or scheduled to expire later than requested.
This will be used to share desc->poll_timer.

* Jiri and Jonathan pointed out that IRQ_POLL_SLACK of HZ / 1000 would
  yield 0 slack on the popular 250HZ config.  Adjusted to HZ / 250.

Minor update.  IRQ_POLL_SLACK bumped up to HZ / 250.

Thanks.
