Merge branch 'clocksource' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/paulmck/linux-rcu into timers/core

Pull clocksource watchdog updates from Paul McKenney:

 - Avoid accidental unstable marking of clocksources by rejecting
   clocksource measurements where the source of the skew is the delay
   reading reference clocksource itself.  This change avoids many of the
   current false positives caused by epic cache-thrashing workloads.

 - Reduce the default clocksource_watchdog() retries to 2, thus offsetting
   the increased overhead due to #1 above rereading the reference
   clocksource.
