Subject: [PATCH V2] clocksource: register cpu notifier to remove timer from dying CPU
clocksource core is using add_timer_on() to run clocksource_watchdog() on all
CPUs one by one. But when a core is brought down, clocksource core doesn't
remove this timer from the dying CPU. And in this case timer core gives this
(Gives this only with unmerged code, anyway in the current code as well timer
core is migrating a pinned timer to other CPUs, which is also wrong:
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/linux/kernel/1898117)

This patch tries to fix this by registering cpu notifiers from clocksource core,
only when we start clocksource-watchdog. And if on the CPU_DEAD notification it
is found that dying CPU was the CPU on which this timer is queued on, then it is
removed from that CPU and queued to next CPU.

V1->V2:
- Moved 'static int timer_cpu' within #ifdef CONFIG_CLOCKSOURCE_WATCHDOG/endif
- replaced spin_lock with spin_lock_irqsave in clocksource_cpu_notify() as a bug
is reported by Jet Chen with that.
- Tested again by Jet Chen (Thanks again :))
