Clean up the interface to hrtimers by changing the init code to pass the mode
as well as the clock.  This allow the init code to select the correct base and
eliminates extra timer re-init code in posix-timers.  We also simplify the
restart interface nanosleep use.

From: Steven Rostedtrostedt@goodmis.org <rostedt@goodmis.org>

CPU0 expires a posix-timer and runs the callback function.  The signal is
queued.

After releasing the posix-timer lock and before returning to hrtimer_run_queue
CPU0 gets interrupted.  CPU1 delivers the queued signal and rearms the timer.
CPU0 comes back to hrtimer_run_queue and sets the timer state to expired.

The next modification of the timer can result in an oops, because the state
information is wrong.

Keep track of state = RUNNING and check if the state has been in the return
path of hrtimer_run_queue.  In case the state has been changed, ignore a
restart request and do not touch the state variable.

Roman Zippel pointed out that the missing lower limit of intervals
leads to an accounting error in the overrun count. Enforce the lower
limit of intervals to resolution in the timer forwarding code.

Change the storage format of the per base resolution to ktime_t to
make it easier accessible in the hrtimers code.

Change the resolution from (NSEC_PER_SEC/HZ) to TICK_NSEC as Roman
pointed out. TICK_NSEC is closer to the real resolution.

The list_head in the hrtimer structure was introduced for easy access
to the first timer with the further extensions of real high resolution
timers in mind, but it turned out in the course of development that
it is not necessary for the standard use case. Remove the list head
and access the first expiry timer by a datafield in the timer base.

This series removes the getnstimestamp() function from kernel/time.c in favor
of kernel/hrtimer.c's ktime_get_ts() function which currently does exactly the
same thing: retrieves a high-resolution (ns) timespec structure and performs
the wall_to_monotonic adjustment.

This patch:

Export ktime_get_ts() to be used as a timestamp function since it uses
getnstimefoday() and does the wall_to_monotonic adjustment.
