Frederic Weisbecker d027d45d8a nohz: New tick dependency mask
The tick dependency is evaluated on every IRQ and context switch. This
consists is a batch of checks which determine whether it is safe to
stop the tick or not. These checks are often split in many details:
posix cpu timers, scheduler, sched clock, perf events.... each of which
are made of smaller details: posix cpu timer involves checking process
wide timers then thread wide timers. Perf involves checking freq events
then more per cpu details.

Checking these informations asynchronously every time we update the full
dynticks state bring avoidable overhead and a messy layout.

Let's introduce instead tick dependency masks: one for system wide
dependency (unstable sched clock, freq based perf events), one for CPU
wide dependency (sched, throttling perf events), and task/signal level
dependencies (posix cpu timers). The subsystems are responsible
for setting and clearing their dependency through a set of APIs that will
take care of concurrent dependency mask modifications and kick targets
to restart the relevant CPU tick whenever needed.

This new dependency engine stays beside the old one until all subsystems
having a tick dependency are converted to it.
