  tick/sched: Preserve number of idle sleeps across CPU hotplug events (2024-01-25 09:52:40 +0100)

----------------------------------------------------------------
- Preserve the number of idle calls and sleep entries across CPU hotplug
  events in order to be able to compute correct averages

- Limit the duration of the clocksource watchdog checking interval as
  too long intervals lead to wrongly marking the TSC as unstable

----------------------------------------------------------------

      clocksource: Skip watchdog check for large watchdog intervals
