Ingo Molnar 126e01bf92 softlockup: fix NOHZ wakeup 
David Miller reported:

|--------------->
the following commit:

| commit 27ec440779
| Author: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
| Date:   Thu Feb 28 21:00:21 2008 +0100
|
|     sched: make cpu_clock() globally synchronous
|
|     Alexey Zaytsev reported (and bisected) that the introduction of
|     cpu_clock() in printk made the timestamps jump back and forth.
|
|     Make cpu_clock() more reliable while still keeping it fast when it's
|     called frequently.

causes watchdog triggers when a cpu exits NOHZ state when it has been
there for >= the soft lockup threshold, for example here are some
messages from a 128 cpu Niagara2 box:

It's simple enough to trigger this by doing a 10 minute sleep after a
fresh bootup then starting a parallel kernel build.

I suspect this might be reintroducing a problem we've had and fixed
before, see the thread:

<---------------|

touch the softlockup watchdog when exiting NOHZ state - we are
obviously not locked up.
