Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip
Pull timer fix from Ingo Molnar:
"Fix a timer granularity handling race+bug, which would manifest itself
by spuriously increasing timeouts of some timers (from 1 jiffy to ~500
jiffies in the worst case measured) in certain nohz states"
