timers: split process wide cpu clocks/timers, fix
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
To decrease the chance of a missed enable, always enable the timer when we
sample it, we'll always disable it when we find that there are no active timers
in the jiffy tick.

This fixes a flood of warnings reported by Mike Galbraith.
