nohz: Track last do_timer() cpu

Browse source 
The previous patch which limits the sleep time to the maximum
deferment time of the time keeping clocksource has some limitations on
SMP machines: if all CPUs are idle then for all CPUs the maximum sleep
time is limited.

Solve this by keeping track of which cpu had the do_timer() duty
assigned last and limit the sleep time only for this cpu.
