timekeeping: Fix HRTICK related deadlock from ntp lock changes

Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.

Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:

[   15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:
[   15.849765]  (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff810aa9b5>] __queue_work+0x145/0x480
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051] but task is already holding lock:
[   15.850051]  (timekeeper_lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff810df6df>] do_adjtimex+0x7f/0x100

<snip>

[   15.850051] Chain exists of: &(&pool->lock)->rlock --> &p->pi_lock --> timekeeper_lock
[   15.850051]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   15.850051]        ----                    ----
[   15.850051]   lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051]                                lock(&p->pi_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051]  *** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fd ("timekeeping:
Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps") in 3.10

This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock
critical section.
