Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer fix from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A single fix for a ~10 years old problem which causes high resolution
  timers to stop after a CPU unplug/plug cycle due to a stale flag in
  the per CPU hrtimer base struct.

  Paul McKenney was hunting this for about a year, but the heisenbug
  nature made it resistant against debug attempts for quite some time"
