Peter Zijlstra 31656519e1 sched, x86: clean up hrtick implementation 
random uvesafb failures were reported against Gentoo:

  http://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=222799

and Mihai Moldovan bisected it back to:

Linus suspected it to be hrtick + vm86 interaction and observed:

Right, I never liked having to fiddle with those TIF flags. Initially I
needed it because the hrtimer base lock could not nest in the rq lock.
That however is fixed these days.

Currently the only reason left to fiddle with the TIF flags is remote
wakeups. We cannot program a remote cpu's hrtimer. I've been thinking
about using the new and improved IPI function call stuff to implement
hrtimer_start_on().

However that does require that smp_call_function_single(.wait=0) works
from interrupt context - /me looks at the latest series from Jens - Yes
that does seem to be supported, good.

Here's a stab at cleaning this stuff up ...

Mihai reported test success as well.
