John Stultz 7bd3601446 timekeeping: Fix HRTICK related deadlock from ntp lock changes
Gerlando Falauto reported that when HRTICK is enabled, it is
possible to trigger system deadlocks. These were hard to
reproduce, as HRTICK has been broken in the past, but seemed
to be connected to the timekeeping_seq lock.

Since seqlock/seqcount's aren't supported w/ lockdep, I added
some extra spinlock based locking and triggered the following
lockdep output:

[   15.849182] ntpd/4062 is trying to acquire lock:
[   15.849765]  (&(&pool->lock)->rlock){..-...}, at: [<ffffffff810aa9b5>] __queue_work+0x145/0x480
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051] but task is already holding lock:
[   15.850051]  (timekeeper_lock){-.-.-.}, at: [<ffffffff810df6df>] do_adjtimex+0x7f/0x100

<snip>

[   15.850051] Chain exists of: &(&pool->lock)->rlock --> &p->pi_lock --> timekeeper_lock
[   15.850051]  Possible unsafe locking scenario:
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051]        CPU0                    CPU1
[   15.850051]        ----                    ----
[   15.850051]   lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051]                                lock(&p->pi_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(timekeeper_lock);
[   15.850051] lock(&(&pool->lock)->rlock);
[   15.850051]
[   15.850051]  *** DEADLOCK ***

The deadlock was introduced by 06c017fdd4 ("timekeeping:
Hold timekeepering locks in do_adjtimex and hardpps") in 3.10

This patch avoids this deadlock, by moving the call to
schedule_delayed_work() outside of the timekeeper lock
critical section.

* SHIFT_PLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
* adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in PLL mode.
* It also used in dampening the offset correction, to define how
* much of the current value in time_offset we correct for each
* second. Changing this value changes the stiffness of the ntp
* adjustment code. A lower value makes it more flexible, reducing
* NTP convergence time. A higher value makes it stiffer, increasing
* convergence time, but making the clock more stable.
*
* In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_PLL is 4.
* However this seems to increase convergence time much too long.
*
* https://lists.ntp.org/pipermail/hackers/2008-January/003487.html
*
* In the above mailing list discussion, it seems the value of 4
* was appropriate for other Unix systems with HZ=100, and that
* SHIFT_PLL should be decreased as HZ increases. However, Linux's
* clock steering implementation is HZ independent.
*
* Through experimentation, a SHIFT_PLL value of 2 was found to allow
* for fast convergence (very similar to the NTPv3 code used prior to
* v2.6.19), with good clock stability.
*
*
* SHIFT_FLL is used as a dampening factor to define how much we
* adjust the frequency correction for a given offset in FLL mode.
* In David Mills' nanokernel reference implementation SHIFT_FLL is 2.
