[GIT pull] timer fix for 4.15

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Wed Jan 17 2018 - 10:33:05 EST


Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

A one-liner fix which prevents deferrable timers becoming stale when the
system does not switch into NOHZ mode.

Thanks,

tglx
