timer: Minimize nohz off overhead

Browse source 
If nohz is disabled on the kernel command line the [hr]timer code
still calls wake_up_nohz_cpu() and tick_nohz_full_cpu(), a pretty
pointless exercise. Cache nohz_active in [hr]timer per cpu bases and
avoid the overhead.

Before:
  48.10%  hog       [.] main
  15.25%  [kernel]  [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
   9.76%  [kernel]  [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   6.50%  [kernel]  [k] mod_timer
   6.44%  [kernel]  [k] lock_timer_base.isra.38
   3.87%  [kernel]  [k] detach_if_pending
   3.80%  [kernel]  [k] del_timer
   2.67%  [kernel]  [k] internal_add_timer
   1.33%  [kernel]  [k] __internal_add_timer
   0.73%  [kernel]  [k] timerfn
   0.54%  [kernel]  [k] wake_up_nohz_cpu

After:
  48.73%  hog       [.] main
  15.36%  [kernel]  [k] _raw_spin_lock_irqsave
   9.77%  [kernel]  [k] _raw_spin_unlock_irqrestore
   6.61%  [kernel]  [k] lock_timer_base.isra.38
   6.42%  [kernel]  [k] mod_timer
   3.90%  [kernel]  [k] detach_if_pending
   3.76%  [kernel]  [k] del_timer
   2.41%  [kernel]  [k] internal_add_timer
   1.39%  [kernel]  [k] __internal_add_timer
   0.76%  [kernel]  [k] timerfn

We probably should have a cached value for nohz full in the per cpu
bases as well to avoid the cpumask check. The base cache line is hot
already, the cpumask not necessarily.
