Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer fixes from Thomas Gleixner:
 "A small set of fixes from the timer departement:

   - Add a missing timer wheel clock forward when migrating timers off a
     unplugged CPU to prevent operating on a stale clock base and
     missing timer deadlines.

   - Use the proper shift count to extract data from a register value to
     prevent evaluating unrelated bits

   - Make the error return check in the FSL timer driver work correctly.
     Checking an unsigned variable for less than zero does not really
     work well.

   - Clarify the confusing comments in the ARC timer code"
