[POWERPC] Simplify smp_space_timers
Greatly simplify the function smp_space_timers. The stolen time calculation (per comment within the code) doesn't need the half-jiffy stagger any more. There isn't an issue with bouncing off global locks, so we really shouldn't need any sort of staggering at all. However, the last_jiffy value still needs to be set. This removes the extra stagger logic, and just sets the values. This change should benefit applications that rely on barrier synchronization, and will help cut down OS jitter. Boot tested across the board (G5,power3,power4,power5,970mp blade). Signed-off-by: Will Schmidt <will_schmidt@vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>
