Subject: [PATCH V2 3/8] timer: create timer_quiesce_cpu() to isolate CPU from timers

To isolate CPUs (isolate from timers) from sysfs using cpusets, we need some
support from the timer core. i.e. A routine timer_quiesce_cpu() which would
migrate away all the unpinned timers, but shouldn't touch the pinned ones.

This patch creates this routine.
