rcu: Make RCU_FAST_NO_HZ use timer rather than hrtimer
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
The RCU_FAST_NO_HZ facility uses an hrtimer to wake up a CPU when
it is allowed to go into dyntick-idle mode, which is almost always
cancelled soon after.  This is not what hrtimers are good at, so
this commit switches to the timer wheel.
