[PA-RISC] Fix time.c for new do_timer() calling convention
do_timer now wants to know how many ticks have elapsed. Now that we have to calculate that, we can eliminate some of the clever code that avoided having to calculate that. Also add some more documentation. I'd like to thank Grant Grundler for helping me with this. Signed-off-by: Matthew Wilcox <willy@parisc-linux.org>

+ * We keep time on PA-RISC Linux by using the Interval Timer which is
+ * a pair of registers; one is read-only and one is write-only; both
+ * accessed through CR16. The read-only register is 32 or 64 bits wide,
+ * and increments by 1 every CPU clock tick. The architecture only
+ * guarantees us a rate between 0.5 and 2, but all implementations use a
+ * rate of 1. The write-only register is 32-bits wide. When the lowest
+ * 32 bits of the read-only register compare equal to the write-only
+ * register, it raises a maskable external interrupt. Each processor has
+ * an Interval Timer of its own and they are not synchronised.
+ *
+ * We want to generate an interrupt every 1/HZ seconds. So we program
+ * CR16 to interrupt every @clocktick cycles. The it_value in cpu_data
+ * is programmed with the intended time of the next tick. We can be
+ * held off for an arbitrarily long period of time by interrupts being
+ * disabled, so we may miss one or more ticks.
