Subject: [PATCH 00/10] tick/nohz updates

Various updates for the timer/nohz side.

* Two fixes (maybe 01/10 deserves a stable tag, I should check)

* A Kconfig help change

* A debug check while enqueuing timers when the tick is stopped in idle.

* The rest is noise reduction for full nohz ("tick/nohz: Kick only 
  _queued_ task whose tick dependency is updated").
  It relies on the fact that p->on_rq is never set to anything else than
  TASK_ON_RQ_QUEUED while the task is running on a CPU, the only relevant
  exception being the task dequeuing itself on schedule().
  I haven't found issues in my modest reviews of deactivate_task() callers
  but I lost my headlamp while visiting fair's sched entity dequeuing
  and throttling (had to find my way back in the dark again).

So please double check the last patch.
