timers: Logic to move non pinned timers
* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@linux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-04-16 12:11:36]: This patch migrates all non pinned timers and hrtimers to the current idle load balancer, from all the idle CPUs. Timers firing on busy CPUs are not migrated. While migrating hrtimers, care should be taken to check if migrating a hrtimer would result in a latency or not. So we compare the expiry of the hrtimer with the next timer interrupt on the target cpu and migrate the hrtimer only if it expires *after* the next interrupt on the target cpu. So, added a clockevents_get_next_event() helper function to return the next_event on the target cpu's clock_event_device.
