[PATCH v9 1/8] timers/migration: Postpone online/offline callbacks registration to late initcall

[Gabriele Monaco <gmonaco@redhat.com>]

From: Frederic Weisbecker <frederic@kernel.org>

During the early boot process, the default clocksource used for
timekeeping is the jiffies. Better clocksources can only be selected
once clocksource_done_booting() is called as an fs initcall.

NOHZ can only be enabled after that stage, making global timer migration
irrelevant up to that point.

Therefore, don't bother with trashing the cache within that tree from
the SMP bootup until NOHZ even matters.

Make the CPUs available to the tree on late initcall, after the right
clocksource had a chance to be selected. This will also simplify the
handling of domain isolated CPUs on further patches.
