Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
"Two fixes for the timer/clocksource code:
- The recent fix to make the take over of the broadcast timer more
reliable retrieves a per CPU pointer in preemptible context.
This went unnoticed in testing as some compilers hoist the access
into the non-preemotible section where the pointer is actually
used, but obviously compilers can rightfully invoke it where the
code put it.
Move it into the non-preemptible section right to the actual usage
side to cure it.
- The clocksource watchdog is supposed to emit a warning when the
retry count is greater than one and the number of retries reaches
the limit.
The condition is backwards and warns always when the count is
greater than one. Fixup the condition to prevent spamming dmesg"

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
