timers, sched/clock: Optimize cache line usage
Currently sched_clock(), a very hot code path, is not optimized to minimise its cache profile. In particular: 1. cd is not ____cacheline_aligned, 2. struct clock_data does not distinguish between hotpath and coldpath data, reducing locality of reference in the hotpath, 3. Some hotpath data is missing from struct clock_data and is marked __read_mostly (which more or less guarantees it will not share a cache line with cd). This patch corrects these problems by extracting all hotpath data into a separate structure and using ____cacheline_aligned to ensure the hotpath uses a single (64 byte) cache line.
