timekeeping: Fix leapsecond triggered load spike issue
This is a backport of 4873fa070ae84a4115f0b3c9dfabc224f1bc7c51 The timekeeping code misses an update of the hrtimer subsystem after a leap second happened. Due to that timers based on CLOCK_REALTIME are either expiring a second early or late depending on whether a leap second has been inserted or deleted until an operation is initiated which causes that update. Unless the update happens by some other means this discrepancy between the timekeeping and the hrtimer data stays forever and timers are expired either early or late. The reported immediate workaround - $ data -s "`date`" - is causing a call to clock_was_set() which updates the hrtimer data structures. See: http://www.sheeri.com/content/mysql-and-leap-second-high-cpu-and-fix Add the missing clock_was_set() call to update_wall_time() in case of a leap second event. The actual update is deferred to softirq context as the necessary smp function call cannot be invoked from hard interrupt context.
