Subject: [PATCH 2/4] time: add a notifier chain for when the system time is stepped

From: David Vrabel <david.vrabel@...rix.com>

The high resolution timer code gets notified of step changes to the
system time with clock_was_set() or clock_was_set_delayed() calls.  If
other parts of the kernel require similar notification there is no
clear place to hook into.

Add a clock_was_set atomic notifier chain
(clock_was_set_notifier_list) and call this in place of
clock_was_set().  If the timekeeping locks are held, the calls are
deferred to a new tasklet.

The hrtimer code adds a notifier block to this chain and uses it to
call (the now internal) clock_was_set().  Since the timekeeping code
does not call the chain from the timer irq clock_was_set_delayed() and
associated code can be removed.

For the delayed case, clock_was_set() used to be called at the
beginning of the hrtimer softirq and now it is called from a tasklet.
The tasklet softirq will be called before the hrtimer one so this
should give the same behaviour.
