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

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "The itimer removal one is not strictly a fix, but I really wanted to
  avoid a rebase of the urgent ones."

* 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip:
  Revert "clocksource: Load the ACPI PM clocksource asynchronously"
  clockevents: tTack broadcast device mode change in tick_broadcast_switch_to_oneshot()
  itimer: Use printk_once instead of WARN_ONCE
  nohz: Fix stale jiffies update in tick_nohz_restart()
  tick: Document TICK_ONESHOT config option
  proc: stats: Use arch_idle_time for idle and iowait times if available
  itimer: Schedule silent NULL pointer fixup in setitimer() for removal
