Hi,

I neither know the semantics of the timer_list nor how to use
seq_file correctly. What happens is that timer_list_next will only
be called once. This means that iter->cpu will never be increased.

This just moves to the next CPU when stop is called (e.g. nothing
was added once the print_tickdevice was printed). Do you think
this could be correct?
