Instead of adding the missing calls to of_node_put() in all execution

In a multi-cluster MIPS system, there are multiple GICs - one in each
cluster - each of which has its independent counter. The counters in
each GIC are not synchronized in any way, so they can drift relative
to one another through the lifetime of the system. This is problematic
for a clock source which ought to be global.
Avoid problems by always accessing cluster 0's counter, using
cross-cluster register access. This adds overhead so it is applied only
on multi-cluster systems.

When a request is created, the hrtimer is not initialized and only its
'function' field is set to NULL. The hrtimer is only initialized when the
request is enqueued. The point of setting 'function' to NULL is that, it
can be used to check whether hrtimer_try_to_cancel() should be called while
retiring the request.
This "trick" is unnecessary, because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() already does
its own check whether the timer is armed. If the timer is not armed,
hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0.
Fully initialize the timer when the request is created, which allows to
make the hrtimer::function field private once all users of hrtimer_init()
are converted to hrtimer_setup(), which requires a valid callback function
to be set.
Because hrtimer_try_to_cancel() returns 0 if the timer is not armed, the
logic to check whether to call i915_request_put() remains equivalent.

Queue posixtimers which have their signal ignored on the ignored list:
1) When the timer fires and the signal has SIG_IGN set
2) When SIG_IGN is installed via sigaction() and a timer signal
is already queued
This only happens when the signal is for a valid timer, which delivered the
signal in periodic mode. One-shot timer signals are correctly dropped.
Due to the lock order constraints (sighand::siglock nests inside
timer::lock) the signal code cannot access any of the timer fields which
are relevant to make this decision, e.g. timer::it_status.
This is addressed by establishing a protection scheme which requires to
lock both locks on the timer side for modifying decision fields in the
timer struct and therefore makes it possible for the signal delivery to
evaluate with only sighand:siglock being held:
1) Move the NULLification of timer->it_signal into the sighand::siglock
protected section of timer_delete() and check timer::it_signal in the
code path which determines whether the signal is dropped or queued on
the ignore list.
This ensures that a deleted timer cannot be moved onto the ignore
list, which would prevent it from being freed on exit() as it is not
longer in the process' posix timer list.
If the timer got moved to the ignored list before deletion then it is
removed from the ignored list under sighand lock in timer_delete().
2) Provide a new timer::it_sig_periodic flag, which gets set in the
signal queue path with both timer and sighand locks held if the timer
is actually in periodic mode at expiry time.
The ignore list code checks this flag under sighand::siglock and drops
the signal when it is not set.
If it is set, then the signal is moved to the ignored list independent
of the actual state of the timer.
When the signal is un-ignored later then the signal is moved back to
the signal queue. On signal delivery the posix timer side decides
about dropping the signal if the timer was re-armed, dis-armed or
deleted based on the signal sequence counter check.
If the thread/process exits then not yet delivered signals are
discarded which means the reference of the timer containing the
sigqueue is dropped and frees the timer.
This is way cheaper than requiring all code paths to lock
sighand::siglock of the target thread/process on any modification of
timer::it_status or going all the way and removing pending signals
from the signal queues on every rearm, disarm or delete operation.
So the protection scheme here is that on the timer side both timer::lock
and sighand::siglock have to be held for modifying
timer::it_signal
timer::it_sig_periodic
which means that on the signal side holding sighand::siglock is enough to
evaluate these fields.
In posixtimer_deliver_signal() holding timer::lock is sufficient to do the
sequence validation against timer::it_signal_seq because a concurrent
expiry is waiting on timer::lock to be released.
This completes the SIG_IGN handling and such timers are not longer self
rearmed which avoids pointless wakeups.

The firing flag of a posix CPU timer is tristate:
0: when the timer is not about to deliver a signal
1: when the timer has expired, but the signal has not been delivered yet
-1: when the timer was queued for signal delivery and a rearm operation
raced against it and supressed the signal delivery.
This is a pointless exercise as this can be simply expressed with a
boolean. Only if set, the signal is delivered. This makes delete and rearm
consistent with the rest of the posix timers.
Convert firing to bool and fixup the usage sites accordingly and add
comments why the timer cannot be dequeued right away.

The handling of the timer overrun in the signal code is inconsistent as it
takes previous overruns into account. This is just wrong as after the
reprogramming of a timer the overrun count starts over from a clean state,
i.e. 0.
Don't touch info::si_overrun in send_sigqueue() and only store the overrun
value at signal delivery time, which is computed from the timer itself
relative to the expiry time.

Signals of timers which are reprogammed, disarmed or deleted can deliver
signals related to the past. The POSIX spec is blury about this:
- "The effect of disarming or resetting a timer with pending expiration
notifications is unspecified."
- "The disposition of pending signals for the deleted timer is
unspecified."
In both cases it is reasonable to expect that pending signals are
discarded. Especially in the reprogramming case it does not make sense to
account for previous overruns or to deliver a signal for a timer which has
been disarmed. This makes the behaviour consistent and understandable.
Remove the si_sys_private check from the signal delivery code and invoke
posix_timer_deliver_signal() unconditionally for posix timer related
signals.
Change posix_timer_deliver_signal() so it controls the actual signal
delivery via the return value. It now instructs the signal code to drop the
signal when:
1) The timer does not longer exist in the hash table
2) The timer signal_seq value is not the same as the si_sys_private value
which was set when the signal was queued.
This is also a preparatory change to embed the sigqueue into the k_itimer
structure, which in turn allows to remove the si_sys_private magic.

If posix_cpu_timer_del() exits early due to task not found or sighand
invalid, it fails to clear the state of the timer. That's harmless but
inconsistent.
These early exits are accounted as successful delete. Move the update of
the timer state into the success return path, so all "successful" deletions
are handled.

clocksource_delta() has two variants. One with a check for negative motion,
which is only selected by x86. This is a historic leftover as this function
was previously used in the time getter hot paths.
Since 135225a363 timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() has unconditional protection
against this as a by-product of the protection against 64bit math overflow.
clocksource_delta() is only used in the clocksource watchdog and in
timekeeping_advance(). The extra conditional there is not hurting anyone.
Remove the config option and unconditionally prevent negative motion of the
readout.

Since 135225a363 timekeeping_cycles_to_ns() handles large offsets which
would lead to 64bit multiplication overflows correctly. It's also protected
against negative motion of the clocksource unconditionally, which was
exclusive to x86 before.
timekeeping_advance() handles large offsets already correctly.
That means the value of CONFIG_DEBUG_TIMEKEEPING which analyzed these cases
is very close to zero. Remove all of it.
