Peter Zijlstra aa02cd2d9b xtime_lock vs update_process_times 
Commit d3d74453c3 ("hrtimer: fixup the
HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_NO_SOFTIRQ fallback") broke several archs, and since
only Russell bothered to merge the fix, and Greg to ACK his arch, I'm
sending this for merger.

I have confirmation that the Alpha bit results in a booting kernel.
That leaves: blackfin, frv, sh and sparc untested.

The deadlock in question was found by Russell:

  IRQ handle
    -> timer_tick() - xtime seqlock held for write
      -> update_process_times()
        -> run_local_timers()
          -> hrtimer_run_queues()
            -> hrtimer_get_softirq_time() - tries to get a read lock

Now, Thomas assures me the fix is trivial, only do_timer() needs to be
done under the xtime_lock, and update_process_times() can savely be
removed from under it.
