Zhongqiu Han 3ec955713d timers: Optimize get_timer_[this_]cpu_base()
If a timer is deferrable and NO_HZ_COMMON is enabled, get_timer_cpu_base()
and get_timer_this_cpu_base() invoke per_cpu_ptr() and this_cpu_ptr()
twice.

While this seems to be cheap, get_timer_cpu_base() can be called in a loop
in lock_timer_base().

Optimize the functions by updating the base index for deferrable timers and
retrieving the actual base pointer once.

In both cases the resulting assembly code of those helpers becomes smaller,
which results in a ~30% execution time reduction for a lock_timer_base()
micro bench mark.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
