[PATCH 1/2] time: Serialize calls to 'clockevents_update_freq' in the timing core

[Soren Brinkmann]

From: Thomas Gleixner <tglx at linutronix.de>

We can identify the broadcast device in the core and serialize all
callers including interrupts on a different CPU against the update.
Also, disabling interrupts is moved into the core allowing callers to
leave interrutps enabled when calling clockevents_update_freq().
