hrtimer: Make offset update smarter
On every tick/hrtimer interrupt we update the offset variables of the clock bases. That's silly because these offsets change very seldom. Add a sequence counter to the time keeping code which keeps track of the offset updates (clock_was_set()). Have a sequence cache in the hrtimer cpu bases to evaluate whether the offsets must be updated or not. This allows us later to avoid pointless cacheline pollution.
